The Adjustment Bureau and Sucker Punch

Today, I saw two movies: The Adjustment Bureau and Sucker Punch. Both of them were very entertaining, but weird.

The Adjustment Bureau really gets you thinking about such things as free will. I’ll say no more. Suffice it to say you could classify it as a love story or an almost sci-fi film. There were chases and lots of running.

Sucker Punch was really weird and the only person I recognized in the film was Carla Gugino, though it took me a little while to figure out who she was. It seems like every time she is in a movie, her hair is a different color or style or something. Abbie Cornish, who was in the movie Limitless, was also in the film, but I didn’t recognize her until I looked it up on the web. Oh, and Jan Hamm was also in it – him I recognized.

My cousin Susan sent me the following email today:

Subject:  WHAT PILOTS SEE WHEN LANDING AT OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE...

This is kinda cool.



WHAT PILOTS SEE WHEN
LANDING AT OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE...

This is just south of us on Hwy 75
South. A farmer does it with his tractor and not sure if he uses a plow or
A disc  He uses GPS to get the letters readable. He has done this
Every fall for several years now.

Here's the view from the flight pattern into OFFUTT
AIR FORCE BASE (Bellevue, NE., just south of Omaha). This is what our servicemen see
When landing at Offutt AFB.  Hat tip to the Bellevue farmer who made it happen!

Okay e-mail buddies –
let’s keep this going until everyone has seen it without the news media or
TV help.  Imagine how this must feel to all those servicemen seeing it
For the first time.

It tells them that we do care and that we do support
Them.  Let’s make it a BIG THANK YOU by sending it
Around the world and if you receive it more than once keep sending.
After all, they stand in the line of fire more than once for us. 

This should have made national news.

Until next time…
