We've been doing a Saturday Movie Matinee tradition in recent months. The only rule is that it has to be a movie on our DVD shelf.

The list so far:

Shakespeare in Love
Good Night and Good Luck
Solo
Ed Wood
Last Action Hero
The Maltese Falcon
Mamma Mia!
The Hunt for Red October

Today's movie was ...

Citizen Kane

#SpaceCoast The new #Tesla supercharger station at 8660 Astronaut Blvd. in Cape Canaveral. There are 12 stations; three cars were charging when I arrived, but two quickly left.

#SpaceX has had superchargers for years in the #KSC Pad 39A admin building parking lot but, unless you're badged for KSC access, they do you no good. This is the first supercharger station on north Merritt Island. I for one am endlessly delighted.

#Florida #SpaceCoast

'Tis the season.

I'm not a scout but I play one on request.

#Florida #SpaceCoast

Baby ducks and their parents outside the bathrooom window or, as I call it, the duck blind (for now obvious reasons).

Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.

Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.

Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida. How many of these gardenia flowers will remain after this afternoon's combustible weather? 🤔

#Space #NASA #ISS

Just now from NASA TV, the #Eclipse as seen from space by the International Space Station.

Hey, I can already see the #Eclipse from my garage! 🤣

#California Meanwhile, somewhere outside Santa Barbara ...

#California Photos from the San Simeon coastline. We stopped at the elephant seal rookery. It's as smelly as ever. 🤢

#California We toured Hearst Castle today. The man had enough money to feed several Third World nations, but spent it instead on a hideaway for the rich, powerful, and famous.

On the other hand, great works of architecture and art typically happen only a rich and powerful person commissions the work.

The place is filled with artwork acquired from around the world. I wondered how people in Egypt, Italy, Ireland, etc. feel about seeing their great works of art here and not there.

#CoSoWriters An old used bookstore in Cambria CA. Cambria is about ten miles south of Hearst Castle in San Simeon.

In the middle of nowhere.

On the 101 to Santa Barbara.

Remember, Jesus died so you could enjoy a lavish buffet at a swank hotel.

Good morning from a damp Costa Mesa, #California. Back in the OC for the first time since 2019.

The Mission Inn in Riverside CA is a unique experience. With roots going back to 1876, it was once the hub for global peace conferences. Its founder travelled the world collecting artifacts, that are displayed throughout the hotel. He designed the raincross symbol that was adopted as the city logo.

We stayed on Authors Row, so named because Hollywood screenwriters would stay here to get it away from it all and focus on their writing. #CoSoWriters

We rented a #Tesla Model Y for a vacation. The trick is to use the voice commands. I asked it, "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" Here is its answer.
