Sometimes you can't
win for losing. My apartment complex (assisted housing) recently dropped its lease with Spectrum to get some other internet, but I chose to keep Spectrum since I like the organization, and my internet and Wifi and landline phone are all connected to it. But when I got my first bill, it was $184.00, which I can hardly afford on my social security, so I called and dropped the entertainment package. It brought my bill down to $115.00, but then I discovered that cut out my TCM (I love the old movies). So I signed up for it again, and that is when I learned that I had basically put me into another entertainment package. Since I like ESPN, I need to keep it. That makes my present costs $157.00.
So today I decided on Spectrum free movies to watch Dark Winds. When I clicked on it, I found out I have to pay for each individual episode. I have not looked to see how much that was going to cost me. I cannot pay for it yet until I get another socsec payment on the 3rd. Oh no!!!!
Anyway, I have to find out how much it will cost me. That is because in reading a write-up about it that it was based on the John Hillerman books, mysteries about the Navajo (Dineh, the Navajo word for The People, and which is how they identify with. I have always adored the Navajo (Dineh), and had the privilege of meeting a few when I was living in Vegas. I have also read almost all of the Hillerman books. I was able to watch a documentary about the series.
The actors who play most of the Navajo police force have facial hair. The Dineh do not have facial hair. So they have had to shave their faces to play Jim Leaphorn, Chee,Dand several other characters. But otherwise, they are true to the characters. Since I have not had a chance to watch any of the 14 episodes (2 seasons so far), I do not yet know how well they follow the books. But they are shooting the series in Navajo Nation, including a lot of shots of Shiprock (Tse bida'ki = The Winged Rock). Their legend has it that the Dineh lived on a lower level of Earth, and were in wars with other Native American tribes, so they climbed up a plants, got up on Tse bida'ki, and flew to New Mexico). It is a sacred monument in Monument. Valley (the part in New Mexico). It represents a big bird, its sacred colours are red, black, white, and yellow, it's rocks are jet, turquoise, and a couple of other stones related to the red, white and yellow - look it up on Google - just type in Shiprock.. Fascinating information.
The actors spoke about having to learn the Navajo language, and they used a lot of the Dineh folks as extras, who speak the language. I once had a dictionary of the Navajo language, but returned it to the organization who have offices on Navajo Nation. It was a rather rare book.
So I will be getting the series Dark Wind as soon as I can afford to pay for it. And have to wonder if I am going to be bringing back the high costs of watching it. I guess I am going to have to stop ordering a lot of stuff from Amazon, although with my scooter having limited places to carry stuff, I buy a lot of my foods from Amazon, which means I get it delivered instead of having to carry it hope from the grocery store.
As I said, you sometimes cannot win for losing.

200 Dollars - Paper Moon (1/8) Movie CLIP (1973)
Addie (Tatum O'Neal) puts Moses (Ryan O'Neal) in a tough situation when she demands the $200 he owes her.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The year is 1936. Orphaned Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal, in her film debut) is left in the care of unethical travelling Bible salesman Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal, Tatum's dad), who may or may not be her father. En route to Addie's relatives, Moses learns that the 9-year-old is quite a handful: she smokes, cusses, and is almost as devious and manipulative as he is. They join forces as swindlers, working together so well that Addie is averse to breaking up the team -- which is one reason that she sabotages the romance between Moses and good-time gal Trixie Delight (Madeline Kahn). Later, while attempting to square a $200 debt that Addie claims he owes her, Moses runs afoul of of a bootlegger (John Hillerman) and is nearly beaten to death by the criminal's twin-brother sheriff. Painfully pulling himself together, Moses gets Addie to her relatives, whereupon she adamantly refuses to leave his side. Photographed in black-and-white by Laszlo Kovacs, the film was made largely on location in Kansas and Missouri (an experience colorfully recalled by director Peter Bogdanovich in his 1972 book of essays Pieces of Time). 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, beating out costar Kahn. Paper Moon later became a short-lived TV series, starring Ryan O'Neal lookalike Christopher Connelly and future Oscar winner Jodie Foster.

Streaming Again
Just in time for our return home, there’s some new entertainment to report on, helping keep us occupied while we await the monsoon entertainment that has failed to reach our neighborhood in any decent quantity.
“The Old Man” stars Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow and is based on the 2017 novel by Thomas Perry. It airs weekly on FX and is available a day later via Hulu. It’s a gripping political thriller, and I might want to add Perry’s other works to my reading list.
“Dark Winds” is based on Tony Hillerman’s series about Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, portrayed in this adaptation by Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon. It airs on AMC, and we’ve purchased the series through Amazon Prime. It has already been renewed for a second series.
On BritBox we’re enjoying “Grace,”a series based on the Roy Grace novels by Peter James. The first series was based on the first two books, while the second series consists of three episodes. A third series of three has already been commissioned. John Simm portrays the title character.
Before taking off on our journey, we took in a couple of episodes of “Joe Pickett,” based on a C.J. Box series about a Wyoming game warden. New Zealander Michael Dorman stars in the title role, which debuted a year ago on the Spectrum service. It has moved to Paramount+. A second series has already been ordered.
We also checked in to “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+. The Jedi Master is played by Ewan McGregor, who is joined by Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones reprising their earlier work as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. This has also been renewed for a second series.
This is so much better than the old days, when all the TV series on broadcast channels when into hiatus during the summer and other options were not as numerous.

So after hitting that book sale over the weekend, I now have an entire bookcase full of mystery novels. I’ve got like a dozen Martha Grimes, ten John Sandfords (counting the one I already had), nine Tony Hillermans, seven Dorothy Sayers, six Henning Mankells¹, and a smattering of Ruth Rendells, John Mortimers. I’ve pretty well committed myself to the mystery genre, so I better enjoy it. :P
¹But no five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, nor even a partridge in a pear tree. Wouldn’t mind the tree, at least.

Creating a Cover, by Peter Thorpe
Peter Thorpe is a master illustrator and designer with a long and illustrious career. He enjoyed early success with work for St. Martin's Press, Viking Penguin, and Harper & Row. For Viking, he did the cover of Frederick Forsyth's The Fourth Protocol and Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon Days, both number one best sellers. Thorpe came to specialize in mysteries, Americana and espionage, doing covers for series published by Warner Books (Larry Bond, Ross Thomas, Elizabeth Peters, Harold Adams), Harper & Row (Desmond Bagley, Hammond Innes, Len Deighton, Fred Harris), St. Martin's Press (Gregory Bean, Laura Crum), Doubleday (Daniel Easterman) and Random House (Thomas Perry). He has created covers for authors such as Nelson Algren, Desmond Bagley, John Calvin Batchelor, William Bernhardt, Terry Bisson, David Cole, Peter DeVries, Daniel Easterman, Thomas Fleming, John Fuller, Michael Gannon, Wendy Hornsby, M. T. Kelly, Brad Linaweaver, Jack London, Walter M. Miller, Jr., Joseph Monninger, Gerard K. O'Neill, Sharon Kaye Penman, Scott Rice, Dana Stabenow, John Trenhaile, Cay Van Ash and Judith Van Gieson.
Here, Thorpe describes for us one of his first jobs as a cover designer...
------------------------------------------
I moved to New York City in 1980, right out of art school, with the idea of working as a freelancer in book publishing. I had discovered in college that I was very comfortable working with type, something that eluded most of my fellow illustration students. So I focused on showing my portfolio to publishers who, at the time, would job out a book cover design to a designer, and the illustration to an illustrator. Being able to do both was a plus and I discovered the publishers were eager for someone like me.
I found early work with St. Martin’s Press and Viking Penguin, and in 1984 started doing covers for Harper & Row. The Creative Director there, Joseph Montebello, gave me free rein on design and I experimented quite a bit with type design. I was in his office in early 1986, handing in a job, when he told me he had a mystery title that involved modern day Navajos, and that he was having a hard time finding someone to give it a proper treatment. The book was Skinwalkers by Tony Hillerman. I told him I was 1/8 Cherokee, and he said, “Good enough, you do it.” Never mind that although my heritage was true, I had never been to an Indian reservation or even met a Native American, and my folks never talked about that side of the family. But that didn’t matter to Joseph, he figured if it was in my blood, then I was right for the job.
In those days most of my visual research was done at the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection. It was housed in a building on Fifth Ave. across from the main library branch. I told the people at the desk what categories I wanted to research and they guided me to files stuffed with images of the subject. Images were taken out of books and magazines or photos from news sources or the like, all mounted on stiff paper. For Skinwalkers, I told them I wanted to look at Navajo images and they gave me several large folders. There were all sorts of photos and illustrations of Navajo hogans and rug weaving and of the landscapes of the reservation. But one thing kept showing up...images of Navajo
sand paintings. These beautifully designed images fascinated me. In Hillerman’s manuscript Navajo shaman and their healing rituals, which included sand paintings, played a role. They were not the main focus of the book, but the sand paintings seemed to me to nicely represent their culture, and I decided to try to use that imagery in the cover design.
I met with a bit of resistance from the editors at first, but Joseph Montebello stood up for me and argued that I was going in the right direction. In the end I used a sand painting border for the Skinwalkers cover. It surrounds a scene from the reservation with a skull in the foreground. I decided to paint the finish on handmade paper to keep with the Native American feel. I used an old wood type font for the title and author name. The book surprised us all by hitting the bestseller list, so Harper & Row came back to me for the next book in the series and by the time I had done a few of them I had established a consistent look that used sand painting elements, old wood type fonts and handmade paper backgrounds as the design standard. For twenty years, until the author’s death, I continued to do the covers for his Harper & Row/Harper Collins first editions, paperbacks (including back titles), omnibuses, and related materials such as slipcase illustrations, point of purchase posters, risers and maps. For each first
edition they had me call the author to discuss the cover. Tony was great fun on the phone, telling me stories about his life and relationship with the publisher, but as for the covers he always said, “Do whatever you want to Peter, the covers have worked well so far!”

Entertainment Spotlight: Tony Cavalero, The Righteous Gemstones
Tony Cavalero is not only an Eagle Scout and a black belt, but he's also an actor whose name you’re bound to start seeing more and more of. Best known for his roles as Ozzy Osbourne in the Netflix biopic, The Dirt, and Dewey Finn in Nickelodeon’s School of Rock, you can currently catch him playing ex-satanist Keefe Chambers in HBO’s televangelist comedy, The Righteous Gemstones. Tony took the time to answer some questions and share some fun facts (and photos) from his life.
How did you prepare for the part of Keefe Chambers in The Righteous Gemstones?
It was rad finding Keefe because I usually play very high-energy characters. Keefe is newly saved from the grips of Satan and was originally written to be older and heavier than me. I imagined him as very uncomfortable in his own skin, around the church, and just about everywhere—this subtle weirdo with very little in the social skills department. My wife and I workshopped the role together on a long road trip back from Lake Tahoe, taking aspects from a character I used to play at the Groundlings, and another from a small web series I worked on in 2009. Throw in the mullet leftover from playing Ozzy in The Dirt, and a monotone southern drawl, and boom! After my audition, I was told that Danny had found a video of a real ex-Satanist-turned-minister and that I looked just like him. So really, I think I got lucky with my “out there” appearance!
If you were to come up with an alternate title for The Righteous Gemstones, what would it be?
The Holy Shits!
If you could be transported into the world of a book, movie, or TV show, which one would you pick?
I love the landscapes in Last of The Mohicans—it would be really interesting to get to see America in its infancy (I did get my BA in history!). I enjoy films, books, and TV shows with big American landscapes. Books like Bearskin, American Fire, The Killers Of The Flower Moon, and anything by Tony Hillerman are great for that.
What about The Righteous Gemstones drew you to the role and the show?
I have been such a monster fan of the Rough House crew for so long (Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green), not to mention Adam Devine and John Goodman. It was a dream job from the get-go. There’s never been a show like this that is so uniquely American and truly pertinent right now.
What’s the most impulsive thing you’ve ever done?
That would have to be moving to Los Angeles right after graduating from the Virginia Military Institute without really knowing what I was getting myself into. I spent my first six years out here as a janitor at a big playhouse in the Valley trying to navigate the craziness that is Hollywood.
What’s the funniest photo that you have on your phone right now?
I've never shared this photo before because I was working on Nickelodeon's School Of Rock at the time, which is a kids’ show. The night before my wedding, we had all our best friends staying together in one huge house in Lake Tahoe. Everyone had been drinking heavily, except for me (I don’t drink), and I decided to streak around the house with only a porcelain kitty to cover me up. I can’t blame this madness on anything but pure wedding bliss!
What are your favorite ways to waste time?
I don’t really waste time :) I love to write and create with my wife, perform, sketch, and improv comedy at the Groundlings, and read lots of horrors and thrillers. I also like to walk our three doggos, make and eat great food, and spend time with the kids at CHLA. And of course, I hit the gym every day, then the hot tub, then the cold plunge.
Is there a line or scene that you feel defines the character you play in The Righteous Gemstones?
Any scene with Kelvin and Keefe really shows who Keefe is as a person. Sweet, earnest, and so uncomfortable in himself, he is able to be honest with his “best friend” Kelvin, whom he loves dearly.
Thanks for taking the time, Tony! The Righteous Gemstones airs on Sundays at 8pm on HBO.

If Iwyn lived in the real world, what do you think her book favourite book would be?
This is a tough one! There are obviously so many books in the world I don’t know about so maybe it is one of those :P.
That said, I’ve always had this idea that she would like mystery novels. I don’t enjoy them myself, but I figure she would enjoy classic Agatha Christie novels? Or something like Dan Brown?
Again I’m not sure, since this is not a genre I’m into myself. My parents read a lot of it, like John LeCarre, or some series with mysteries on a race horse track? My mom really like Tony Hillerman too, so I always imagine this is the style of novels she would like.
But a favorite.... it might be something more literary? I hardly know what my own favorite is, so who knows? lol. Sorry I’m vague.

My Audible so far.
I think for next month I'm going to get another travel book by Paul Theroux and a Wally Lamb book which I have but is too big for me to ever actually read so the best thing I'm going to be able to do is listen.
I got a lot of suggestions on Facebook from Sue Grafton to John Grisham and a couple of authors that I had never even heard of before. Sadly the only Diana Abu Jaber books on Audible are the ones I have already read. Same with Tony hillerman and the only James Lee Burke books I like are the Dave Robicheaux series and I have read all of them.
I picked the short story collection because it has Tony Hillerman and Stephen King but the two-story short stories I have listened to so far I have not been impressed with it all and I am really wishing I would have spent my credit on something else.
I can't believe I'm already back to work next week but it has been a wonderful break.
Text my dad I am programmed to think that any down time is laziness and I should be doing something productive every single second of every day.
Because of this for 40 years I have worked myself to exhaustion and sometimes in the hospital stays because of my inability just slow down and take it easy.
Every time that I would slow down or I would be forced to slow down by a hospital stay or being so sick that I could not get out of bed I would always hear my dad's voice telling me I needed to get to work and do something productive.
This is the first holiday that I have not done anything at all aside from a bit of housework and have not felt guilty in the least about it.
