Around the World in 80 Gardens (2008) is a documentary series hosted by Monty Don. He is the quintessential British gardener, author and gardening lifestyle presenter. I like his documentaries very much. He has an easy style and soothing voice. He is able also to focus on things of interest to gard...

Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood! {Pedanticism=ON} Any two points on the surface of a globe which do not lie on the same line of longitude are both east and west of each other. It is simply a matter of how far you wish to travel when going from one to the other. {Pedanticism=...

For some reason, my first thought when I saw this actress's face was "Agnes Moorehead?". :roll: She was: Patricia Laffan(1919-2014). I love IMDb.com's description of her: "A statuesque and striking actress with vaguely reptilian aspects ... " https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0480784/...

My favorite is: The Pink Panther (1963)

It is so very well done that the main character became popular in its own right with television series and even a television movie.

Devil Girl from Mars (1954) An isolated Scottish inn has as guests one night in winter: a model who is running away from her married boyfriend, a hiker who is an escaped convict, a professor who lost his way while going to investigate a meteorite, a dipsomaniac reporter doubling as the professor's ...

Tree services we contacted were not enthusiastic about removing the other three stumps. They were a variety of maple known for its particular hardness.

This is the stump which vexes me. That must have been a huge tree. Stump removal sure can be a headache. Have several smaller ones here too. We could dig them out with the backhoe on our small tractor, but just need them down enough for sod, so will just hire a stump grinder at some point in time. ...

This has been our major project of recent. We have a quite passionate hatred for the deck. It is built mostly of what lumber the previous owner could scrounge. He saved considerable money on construction also by not buying a level, square or plumb bob. It is questionable if he owned a tape measure. ...

This is the stump which vexes me. We had hoped to be rid of it by now but wind and rain thwarted our efforts to burn it during the short period during which we are allowed open burning. It even prevented further chain-sawing of it because wet hardwood dulls a chain within minutes. To provide a sense...

Motel Hell (1980)


Next: favorite John Wayne movie that is neither a Western nor a war picture.
