Reacher!

 

Alan Ritchson has absolutely nailed portraying Jack Reacher!  Les and I have read all of Lee Child's Reacher books and love them.  And we've seen the movies with Tom Cruise.  As much as we have liked the movies, Tom just never fit the image of Reacher described in the books. We watched all of this new series over a couple nights and can't wait for a season two.  Well done!

Last evening we started watching "1883", the prequel to "Yellowstone".  I liked "Yellowstone because of the scenery.  We lived in Colorado for four years and we took a long road trip out West a few years ago.  I just love the wide open spaces and the mountains.  Well, anyway, "1883" is a little different, but it seems like a pretty good show.  There is some violence, of course, and so far the scenery is not as great, but their trip West is just getting started.  It is a different story and a different time. 

I have some questions though. In 1883, in Fort Worth, Texas, did men actually wear lavender suits?  The man in the lavender suit was in several scenes.  I'm guessing he just got to town and hadn't bought his jeans, jacket, and boots yet.

And then, there is a question of dental care.  The people all looked like they could use a good long bath.  But running, hot water wasn't a thing back then.  How in the world did they have such straight, extremely white teeth??


And this is the end of my TV reviews. You might be glad!

Les and I are alright. Our pest control guy was here this morning for the quarterly visit. Next week we have a couple doctor appointments.  We are expecting the rest of the chimney repair to be done some time this week.

It is still cold here, and supposed rain later today.  The first warmer, and drier, day that we get, I plan to get out and do some pruning.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Life is good.  And God Bless America!
