@VicLombardi@Broncos As long as Waltons are paying, (not us) Burnham yards site is a win-win-win. We keep Broncos in Denver, bring jobs and revitalization to a dead part of the city, and have a deep pockets, third-party pay for it along with all the environmental remediation ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
@classic_film So many good ones I can actually get! Iโm going w number 18 by The Hollies called Bus Stop. I like to think that fictional rainy days relationship took but who knows?

How often do you get to talk to legit golden age classic Hollywood stars who also made heroic contributions to stopping fascism in WWII?

@PrezWisdom@IkeLibrary@MountVernon@USGrantLibrary Brutal choice. All 3 are at the top not just as extraordinary military leaders but leaders of honor, integrity & character. I go w Washington. We know him the least but he personally risked the most though amazing deprivations over nearly a decade of his life. GW was the man๐๐ผ
@doranka@jim_benemann ๐๐ผ answer. We also have a higher eduction system that despite efforts to underfund, undermine & destroy it remains the envy of the world.

@classic_film Both quippy and fun. Both ladies men and perennially โon the make. But if I had an acute appendicitis Iโd sure rather have Hawkeye (named for 14th Pres. Pierce) on the case. Hawkeye put medicine first & ladies second. I got the sense Doc Bricker reversed that priority๐
@TheMovieMan17@classic_film I have a theory that DeForest Kelley somewhat patterned his irascible โIโm just a county doctor Jim!โ bit after Doc Adams on Gunsmoke. Both very good at their job, both cranky and both lovable.
@classic_film He fully embraced his own character. Kyle MacLachlan said โHe was in tune w the universe.โ I donโt know about that but he was utterly, unapologetically himself. I liked Blue Velvet & Mulholland Drive, LOVED Twin Peaks and found something to love in all he did. #RIPDavidLynch
