A 30.49% increase. When I first bought insurance via @HealthCareGov in 2011, it was less than $300.

Will I be able to afford it? Barely, but the extra money I am paying will come out of what I could be putting into the economy.

Realized a couple of days after I posted that I credited the wrong show. This was from an episode of Elementary.

I was recently reminded of my error when I came across two budget release horror DVD sets that had Manos amongst their many films.
Image of Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes sniffing what is possibly a food package, holding what is probably a mug of hot tea, and wearing a shirt that says "Good Looking" in rounded block letters on its left side.

After posting the above, the man who's place it is, re-gave the description of the suspected perp & confirmed the accuracy of a sketch previously done for him. His added details of an auburn colored beard, a cowboy-like hat, and a scar above the eye made me realize why the sketch looked familiar. 😹

The first two cards from the array. The back of the cards are in Spanish, but they seem to tell a brief bit about the Lumière brothers when connected.

Image of tornadoes over a city. Either from the film Geostorm(2017) or its promotional material. One of the better* films on the list, but not tornado-centric enough to warrant a mention on the show. (*I am in the clear minority with my opinion of this film, but it was hands down more entertaining and a better production than all the other disaster movies that I watched from the list.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostorm https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1981128/ In reply to this tweet, there will be 2 sub-threads.

Movie poster art from The Billion Dollar Hobo(1978). Features a cartoonish drawing of star Tim Conway riding on a caboose with a bindle in hand and a dog by his side. The dog is wearing a hat and has its paw over Conway's shoulder. The hat is a flat cap, which is the same style as Conway's. The bindle is stuffed with dollar bills and some have fallen out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Billion_Dollar_Hobo https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077238/ In reply to this tweet, there will be 2 sub-threads.

Christmas trees were on sale at the dollar general for $10(minus a couple of dollars from $5 off coupon), so I decided to get one. I've never had one as an adult, so I improvised the decorations.

Now comes the waiting game for it to get knocked down.

Watching A Hobo's Christmas.
White Christmas trees with small stuffed animals amongst the decorations. There's a raccoon puppet at its top. Santy Claus can be seen on TV next to the tree. Advertisement for A Hobo's Christmas as the CBS Tuesday night movie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hobo%27s_Christmas

Dr. Claw is my preference as like he, I yell at the TV screen, pet cats, and keep my image hidden from view.

Photo still of a spooky scarecrow from the film Scarecrows (1988). I watched the film earlier this year and had forgotten about it until I was working on the YouTube playlist late last night or the night prior, so it ended up not being included in a list of films that I mentioned at the end of my session. It would have been included if I had not been so far behind in doing that list for the show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarecrows_(1988_film) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096046/ In reply to this tweet, there will be 2 sub-threads.
