Original Post

Remember that meme that daughter wells do not do as well as parent wells? Not true in the Bakken.  Look at initial production for three daughter wells compared to initial production of the parent well. I remember when I first started blogging, folks did not want daughter wells put in, afraid that the daughter wells would come in poor, and worse, hurt the parent well.

Emmylou Harris Over At PowerLine While Compiling The Wells That Will Come Off The Confidential List This Next Week -- April 5, 2020

Wow, what a treat. Over at PowerLine, Emmylou Harris. At one time I knew much of the story but have long forgotten it (the story). I was sure that I had posted something about Gram Parsons, but I guess I have not. What a treat to re-read the story. It's a pain to click back-and-forth on the YouTube videos while reading the story, but then I remembered what Sophia would do --she would read the story but would ask Alexa to play Emmylou Harris. LOL. So, here we go.

*********************************
North Texas

Third day in a row, overcast, cool (feels cold), rain -- wow, this spring is sure dragging out. There certainly is no sign of global warming in this part of the God's little earth.

Let's go see what the "real climate science" guy says. We can start with global snow cover.

The Last Picture Show

I saw it for the first time ever, last night on TCM.

My notes as I started watching:
  • Wichita Falls
  • north Texas
  • November
  • cold
  • basketball as opposed to football
  • townspeople upset they lost their basketball game the previous evening
  • sound track Hank Williams, SR
  • first thought: American Graffitti (1973)
  • Last Picture Show: 1971
  • begins with going to the town's one movie theater
  • chewing gum
  • 1951 movie with Elizabeth Taylor; "A Place In The Sun"?
  • Cybil
  • Last Picture Show: 1951 -- Korea
  • American Graffitti: 1962 -- Vietnam
  • cars
  • main street
  • Rig-Wam Drive In
  • Dr Pepper: Sonny at Cloris Leachman's house
  • sort of reminds me of a Coen Bros movie; period, regional film
  • dance; Cybil (Jacy) driving to dance -- so "American Graffiti"
  • one can almost match various Last Picture Show scenes with American Graffitti scenes
  • from a "film" point of view, Last Picture Show much better than American Graffitti
  • movie theater in town = Mel's Diner
  • best sound track ever? for country 
  • both pictures introduced a number of actors/actresses that went on to become quite famous
This morning:
  • American Graffitti, easy to watch; can easily watch more than once; a feel good movie, captures California love for cars, dragging main street, coming of age with no sex, no nudity;  don't recall ever being "bored" watching any of it; alcohol but comic scene; could watch with family; color; when all said and done, I had good feeling for each of the different characters, each one very distinctive; forward looking;
  • The Last Picture Show: a difficult movie to watch; subject matter much darker; captures dying Texas town so very, very well; at times moved a bit slowly; more of a Coen Bros dark period piece; soft porn in the eyes of some; lots of sex; nudity; no drugs, no alcohol (with one short, inconsequential exception); I don't recall many "light" moments; overall, depressing? black and white; when all said and done, the men all seemed to blend together; the women fell into two different groups, young and pretty, coming of age; the second group, older, wiser, burned out, dead end;

Reassuring: BR's Kings Canyon #18018 Back On Line -- Lookin' Good -- April 4, 2020
