Indian Jones and the Dial of Desitny

 Well, the end of the work week has arrived.  This means I am scheduled to work tomorrow.  Yippee.  

For the past 2 days the weather has been hot, or perhaps I should say rather warm since both Wednesday and Thursday our thermometers have climbed into the low 90s (F).  They're nothing like what they have down south where the temps are in the low 100s (F).  Of course, we're just at the beginning of summer, things will probably start cooking when we get later into July and August.

I finally got in a decent dumbbell workout (53 minutes) and bike ride (14.02 miles) yesterday and felt so much better.  I find that when I get the workouts in I feel much better.  When I don't I tend to want to take naps, not a good thing.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against taking a nice nap, it's just that they need to be taken in serious moderation.  I have no plans on sleeping away the rest of my life.

Last evening I went to see Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and I liked it... a lot.  I'm sure many of Harrison Fords action shots were done by a stunt double, but for an 80 year old man he was rather impressive.  I suspect one of the problems some people might have is seeing people they consider to be old staring in an action movie.  Get over it, people. The storyline was good.  Mads Madsen played the villain well, smooth and slick, and slimy.  

One thing I found fascinating about the movie is that there really is an Antikythera though I doubt very much if it was built by Archimedes, and though only one has been found, I suspect there were more in the ancient Greek world.

And probably the only really big and very joyful news is that Elon Musk is flipping out about Threads.  While I'm not wild about Mark Zuckerberg, I have no problem seeing Musk's ruination at his hands.  One thing I am seeing, and hope you are, too, is people posting good advice about the haters.  Be certain that Libs of TikTok will show up in your feed.  When they do and try to incite you with inflammatory comments and videos do not respond just mute them.  The fewer responses they get, the more they find themselves muted, the less often they will show up.  This is how you use the algorithms to your benefit.
