Wind and Sand (and SPN)
Today was a trip to Kitty Hawk to the Wright Brothers Memorial. Very interesting to see where all the work in Dayton finally paid off. Also very interesting to see that the hill where they took off from has moved 450 feet to the southwest from where it stood in 1903. The terrain, of course, was all sand at the time, so yes, it did move. The winds and the sand were why the Wrights chose Kitty Hawk for their flights.
(It was also interesting to hear the people around me reading or explaining to their children that the Wrights were from Dayton, OH.)
We ate lunch at Jimmy's Seafood Buffet. Jimmy's Buffet. Get it? The food wasn't great, but it did have that beach bar ambiance. I didn't realize that Geo's side of the fam was so fond of crab legs. Me, not so much, but I was delighted to see all the veggies on the hot bar.
I finished Shirley Jackson's The Haunting today. I'll post more thoroughly in a different entry, but if anyone has read it (and seen the original movie?), I'd kind of like to discuss it. Geo also mentioned watching the remake, since I've read the book now.
Tonight Newphew16 and I watched "In My Time of Dying."
His major comments ran along these lines:
When Dean is walking through the empty hospital corridors, said confidently: "It's a dream."
When Dean discovers his body lying in a hospital bed, said with slight surprise: "Dean can't die." (I made no mention of the end of S3).
When the doctor pronounces John dead and the title card flashes the end credits, said with a mixture of incredulity and awe: "Whoa."
Followed by, "He died."
Me: Yep.
N16: He sold his soul to the demon.
Me: Yep.
N16: To save Dean.
Me: Yep.
And then he said something I didn't quite catch about them going to hunt down and kill the demon.
During the course of the ep there was also chuckling at various Dean lines, most notably to Dean's responses to the talking board--"You've got to be kidding me," and "I feel like I'm at a slumber party."
And his final comment sums it up pretty well: "That was really good."
So, yeah, SPN definitely has a male demographic out there. We just never see it.
