Spending Spree

.... top up.
This week saw the consumer crazy household here , purchase a towel warmer , 22 " TV and finished w/ a DVD called ' Captain America - the Winter Soldier '.
A bit extrvagant the DVD , new for  $ 24. Expensive , yes , however ,I thought about the $ 40 something trip to see ' Guardians of the Galaxy '. I controlled the vertical and the horizontal and my heart didn't change rhythm when the bombs went off (c.f. AVX sound at the theatre)
Rating : Plenty of action , and if you think that I'm a Luddite , well Cap' is worse ) I'd give the video about 0.6 / 1.0 on the Redbox scale
The backyard view. I am typing looking out on the backyard. Our living room is on the backside of the house and faces the ravine.At this time of the year , the trees and bushes enclose the space. The backdrop are maples , oaks and a black cherry plus larches galore.
The foreground is silver leaf dogwoods and pines. The dogwoods and pines are actually in the backyard and were planted by us. B/c of our elevation in the house , the dogwoods are base of the view.
A long time ago , the cleaning lady admitted to sitting and watching the backyard. She quickly added that she stayed an extra ten minutes working to make up for the viewing break.

Weather : SOG , the same beuti conditions , summer

In the news , Ebola still going crazy and more countries are sending planes to combat ISIS. Canada has promised 6 planes. No , we're not cheap - that 1 / 2 of our air force

BTW - the new LG 22 " flat screen is a gem. The picture is sharp and jumps off the surface. The picture was aided by ' the Winter Soldier ' which does plenty of jumping itself.
My elliptic room , now rivals , most gyms. If only the trainee rivaled the people in most gyms. I'm trying , I'm trying.
