"This minority is great..."

bad day for a bike ride took off yesterday to the other side of town as the snow fell...and fell...and fell some more...stopped at the pawn and bought a DVD for a buck...the new clerk said i could just have the DVD for free...she suspected i would rob her if she opened the cash register...i laughed and put a dollar on the counter and told her i had bought s lot of DVDs from this pawn shop...(not to mention cameras, guitars and other items...thats one thing about having a beard...you are suspect...any old crime will do, you may be the perpertrator...i creeped along back towards the rented room as a blizzard coated the vehicles and the road...i kept my distance from the other vehicles and made it to the grocery store and picked up victuals then to the room and safety...more or less.... i found a youtube interview with robert rodriguez on lex fridman #465...i have listened to ram dass, ken kesey, and many other pundits but this interview was one of the most interesting and helpful i have ever heard...this interview with mr rodriguez is extraodinary in the amount of useful advice he imparts...not about film making as much as about creativity and how keep it in ones life...it is 3 and a half hours long ang i watched it in two sittings and will probably watch it several times...he used the term "three pound "ME" computer" which i had never heard before...there were several things that he said that i wanted to write down but i only wrote down "record it! record it!...an extraordinary guy indeed... i also watched an interview called "How FBI undercover agents really work" with scott payne who said something i had never heard...he said L. Freeh was the best FBI director ever...and did not care much for Mueller...he said the FBI drifted away from grass roots law enforcement...sounds true to me... a great you tube documentary is "The Floating fishermen of Havana"...it is about people desperate to get food and they float at night on inflated truck tires in the ocean,,,very interesting...
