We have just watched the first 4 episodes of a new series on Netflix called "The Chair". We started watching it because it stars Sandra Oh, who we really like. The premise is that she is the new head of the English department at a small university. The students and their cancel culture make it impossible for them them to teach anything. And it rings true. We have raised a generation with no sense of humor, no sympathy or understanding for anyone, and very little work ethic. If the students want to run the colleges instead learn what the professors have to teach, I say they do not deserve an education. Let them spend a year or two picking cotton.

While I have not watched that show, I agree with the work ethic of that generation. I have tried hiring them here for simple pruning of bushes and trees. No can do. An hour is about it and then it is off for the day. Laziest generation ever.

If the SHTF scenario and they need to eat, while they cry and demand that joe sixpack has more than his fair share, and they think they are entitled to it, Joe Sixpack has guns and ammo.

They are graduating people with worthless degrees and it's their own fault. No sympathy. They are going to learn about Darwin, like it or not.

I've been binging the "Tombstone Territory" series from 1957. I was always a fan of "The Rifleman" but this one somehow eluded me. Catchy theme song too!

Found it ... now it can buzz in your brain too! Lol
We've decided to take a trip in a couple of weeks and hit Tombstone, Bisbee and Kartchner Caverns. It's been over a decade since my last visit.

Don't watch regular TV channels anymore. Netflix, Amazon Prime etc have spoiled me and I can no longer tolerate even the briefest commercial break (they're never brief).

My wife had some show on that was recorded and there were a bunch of commercials that were 12 minutes long. We don't watch anything with commercials that doesn't allow fast forwarding through them. getyarn.io/yarn-clip/951db6d3-55c3-4534-b8e9-6f9fe6fe2208 |

Well I got sucked into the hype from my friends and started watching Squid Game. Binged 5 eps so far out of 9 and I’m glad I don’t have to wait week to week to watch the next one.

Cool, I have been running south a lot, really like Hereford Az. about 15 minutes south of Sierra Vista. Nice community with a temperate climate. |

We're still trying to avoid Squid Game. We're in the second season of You on Netflix. It's about a creepy stalker and has plenty of murderous mayhem.

Im more than a few seasons/years behind on tv series and sitcoms.
But I’m really excited. this week I will find out “who shot JR?”😝 I said I’m behind! Some of you will know what I’m talking about.
I just can’t park in front of the tv long, knowing there is something better that I should be doing.
Actually, we just had finished the most current season of Black List.
But had never seen the first 3. So we are working through those.

No intention of watching Squid Game. Can't stand Peaky Blinders for some reason. Never watched Dallas or Perry Mason or any Buddy Ebson series after the Beverly Hillbillies. Currently watching Father Brown, Coroner, Evil, Death in Paradise and several others.

I'm a bit behind on that one. |

(I'm only 6 episodes in.) |
