Giant:
The film begins with Jordan "Bick" Benedict, played by Hudson, arriving at Ardmore, Maryland, to purchase a stallion from the Lynnton family. The first part of the picture was actually shot in Albemarle County, Virginia, and used the Keswick, Virginia, railroad station as the Ardmore railway depot.
Rock Hudson's ranch: 595,000 acres.
Novel by Edna Ferber. Wiki entry worth reading.
When we lived in Virginia, I became intrigued with "horses" in Virginia The opening scene in Giant reminded me of those days, specifically as it related to Jackie Kennedy. See this "flashback" to "Wexford." More photographs here.

For the record, now that "we're" in it, I would rather have a "Biden" as president than a "Trump."
The 82nd Airborne Division, northbound in the Seneca, SC, area. If accurate, it would be headed north to Greer, SC, where it will connect with rail to Charleston, SC, to the southeast. When I first saw this video clip I just saw the tanks and thought these were destined for the Polish army, but now that I have watched the full clip it appears it's the "hardware" for the US' 82nd Airborne Division, and, yes, headed for Poland.
I would assume it will be a month before this hardware meets up with its personnel and is operational.
The bad news: there's only one way for Putin to match this. Nuclear. Which tends to level the playing field.
Nukes kind of level everything... For about 500 yrs
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking maybe Americans should be a bit more worried than they seem to be with regard to this "minor incursion." I'm sure North Korea and China are all watching closely to .... well as President Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel famously said in 2008, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste ... it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before."
DeletePart of the Saul Alinski manifesto that Hillary and friends cut their collegiate teeth on.
ReplyDeletePutin may well not survive this, he has already lost the war of public opinion but...
Every other despot in the world is taking notes on this.
You are correct. I keep flip-flopping on this whole issue. Without question, just the fact that Putin has raised the nuclear threat the entire world -- including China -- will turn against him.
