Screenshot of chart in an email from my insurance provider.
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.

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.
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.
Cute! When a Little lamb befriends a cat ..🥰😇😍 #cat #catday #bluesky

Hesitant to post this, as it's quite disturbing, but I feel it is important that the story be known: open.substack.com/pub/katemann...
CW/TW - I don't even want to note it, it's that bad. (Mentioned at the top of the article, and while accurate, they don't do the details justice.)
Once you get the timing down, windmills aren't so tough. Nine does seem a bit excessive for an 18-hole course, though.
Be wary of sticking your hand in the entry or exit holes, as sometimes the windmills are infested with hippies. #tmyk 🌈
It's Torgo!!!
Torgo in Manos: Hands of Fate
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. 😹

😺 Currently amused by the appearance of a Manos: Hands of Fate poster in Sherlock S3 Ep 17.

A new ornament suddenly appeared on my Christmas tree. (No, these pics are not old. I never took it down nor planned to do so.)

Sad to hear of the passing of one of my favorite Jeans: Jean Marsh
Here's a playlist I created with some of her film and TV appearances: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Haven't been doing any social media in a while.
No particular reason. Mostly have time filled with other distractions.
Anyway, thought I would share a recent visitation: www.instagram.com/p/DH4AAy0xor...

Art from unknown film featuring man firing shotgun at armed person on bike.
Image from Star Wars poster with Luke, Leia, and Vader headshot. Also has head of bike rider from previous card.
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.

Trading card featuring the Death Star, C3P-0, R2D2, 2 people with assault rifles, helicopters, a crashed plane, and a giant Buddha. The non-SW parts of the image are from the movie Tiger Joe, and it is the third card of a three card array.
There's something off about this Star Wars card...

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.
