Notes From All Over, Mid-Morning Edition -- May 13, 2020

See this post for photos off Long Beach port

They're reading the blog! I posted this about an hour ago. LOL:


If the chart above is hard to read, here it is by itself:



***************************************
The Sophia Page

Another Sophia in the news. Sophia Coppola creating Apple TV+ show based on Edith Wharton's 'Custom of the Country' novel. Link over at MacRumors. Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation is either on my top ten movie list or close to making the list. Can't remember exact status.

This Sophia sustains severe injuries in playground fall:



Flashback, almost ten years ago: Trent Reznor and Karen O's cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song." Link hereThe Girl With The Dragon Tattoo finally moves into my top ten movie list. Huge mistake by Hollywood (again): 84th (2012) Oscar (Academy Award) for best actress went to Meryl Streep playing herself in The Iron Lady. Anybody paying attention would have given it to Rooney Mara in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Word For The Day

Whin: Scottish -- any prickly shrub, especially gorse. Probably used interchangeably with gorse by some folks.

I saw this word for the first time, and then the second time, reading/re-reading The Scotch Irish:  A Social History, James G. Leyburn, c. 1962, p. 4.

One more: burn, moving freshwater, creek to very small river.
