Gloomin' day

Grey day breaking , here. Not cold but 55 F in the shade.

Did another check on the competition ( other blogspots ).
One guy had 54 responses to his item. It was a religious site and , of course , that blog was dated 4 / __ / 2012 , and that was the latest.
54 responses , crikey  , he must have hundreds of readers.

Religion. Guess , I could try. Talk about  short blog entries.

I'm starting a comparison ,that will need updating and maybe help.
A recent movie release was  ' Jack Reacher ' by Lee Child. We were pointed in that direction by an Ohio connection. I read about 11 JR books.
I got to thinking and re-read a series ( only 4 out of 100 something ) where the lead character is Remo Williams. RW is the ' Destroyer ' or Shiva made incarnate. RW was a movie as well. Fred Ward was Remo and the title was ' Remo Williams , the Adventure Begins '.
The movie was a bomb and was saved by a dubious cult status. And , of course, me. Loved it.
