Suicide Squad

I saw the movie "Suicide Squad" last weekend. I am not sure what excited me more, seeing the movie on its opening day, or finally catching a Venomoth in Pokemon Go in the movie theater's parking lot. The critter had been eluding me for several weeks now. That is all I can remember and will write about my weekend movie experience.

By the way, it is pouring today and the entire Tampa bay area is under flood warning. I have no problem with it really, as long as we get a chance to catch more water based Pokemon inside the flood zones. Maybe I should organize an event with the local players driving out to the flood zones, it will be spectacular.

Trip Back to Florida

I just drove back to Florida with my dad after having attended my cousin's wedding in Ohio. My car was breaking down pretty badly, the steering wheel shook hard when it hit 50 mph. This reminded me a movie I saw back in Ohio, The Finest Hours. For those who haven't seen the film, this is the description on IMDB -- "The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952."

So while my steering wheel shook, I thought to myself, what would Chris Pine's character Bernie Webber do in this situation? Press on of course! If Bernie Webber wasn't stopped by losing the compass in a hellish storm under frigid temperatures, we are sure not going to be stopped by our car falling apart! With that in mind I stepped hard on the gas pedal and maintained a 75 mph average speed, and me and my dad made it back home in no time.
