Floundering around

There are red fish , blue fish , black fish and all appear in children's stories. Fish got named after almost any animal.
Yesterday , a flounder ( summer flounder ) jumped my jig as I was trying off the dock. Not a keeper but wriggly and fought hard. Couldn't ask for more , well I could but won't.

The clouds have challenged the sun  for dominance and are winning
Humidity is rising and the clouds getting darker , rain chance  is 60 % or more.

Movie review : This is 3 days old but what the hey !
The ' Imitation Game ' Brendan Cumberbatch and Kiera Knightly.
Set in WWII , at Bletchley Park ,home of the OSS ( British Intelligence) , intercept and decode station. The hero , much maligned in his personal life , has achieved prominence in the field of mathematics.
He is part of a team , reluctant part BTW , chosen to decipher the German Enigma Code which is set and changed by the ' Enigma ' machine daily.
Movie hits many high notes in acting and suspense and failure. In the end , there is success , estimates put the lives saved at 14 million and shortened the war by 2 years. Ah , but the lives sacrificed - can't give away too much , you know. What actions will go undetected and hurt the Germans ? All done on a probability calculation. At war's end , destroy the decoder and burn all documents !  What we had what ? No. 
Rating 0.9 / 1 on the redbox scale.

Every cloud has some kind of silver lining , even the really dark ones , these  bleak tho'.
