The Titanic Submarine Crisis

I have often wished and prayed to have money, ok rich! But not stupid rich that I would want to get into a experimental mode of transportation device that would take me 13,000 feet down in the ocean in a human size beer can with a window just to ooh and aah at the Titanic. 

These people paid $225,000 to get in a submersible that is so fragile that is something gets caught in the propellers of the engine you are dead. There is no close by recuse if something goes wrong. communication is very limited, I understand mountain climbing or sky diving, you are in control of your own safety. And you had better know what you are doing. 

But getting into this submarine you are at the mercy of so called professionals. Ok they were warned of the dangers over and over again. But my question are you so wealthy you don't fear death? 

CBS news correspondent gave his account of taking the dive a year ago

If I would have had those fears the night before I would have said no and canceled. The problem I have with this is who is paying for the search. There should be some type of life insurance policy that not only covers your death but the clean up cost if you get lost and need a rescue operation like what is going on right now. It should not be totally at the cost of the tax payers. It seems there is a total lack of preparation if something goes wrong. I don't have money, and if I would be in a similar situation no one would care, 

The Walking Dead: Dead City (review)

It is exciting to see the Walking Dead Universe get bigger. I have been waiting on this limited series for a long time and it did not disappoint. Maggie and Megan working together is awesome. Dead City is creepy and mysterious. and more dark than The Walking Dead ever was. I believe Negan is truly reformed and bluntly honest. Maggie still hates him but needs his help. How is it possible that Maggie could ever forgive him after not just murdering but brutally killing her husband Glenn in episode 1 of season 7 of the Walking Dead called "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be"

The first episode had disturbing images (but in a good way) The intense feelings in this show is so thick you can almost taste it. it is dark and disturbing. The daylight scenes are almost as dark as the night scenes. And just when you think there is hope it is shattered. I truly love it. This is post apocalyptic in overdrive.

New York is the where the story takes place. Any movie or show you watch about New York there is heaviness to the story. The same happens for Dead City. I can not say enough good things for this show. I hope there is more for the rest of the limited series, The series only has 6 episodes

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Season 2 Premier

 I was reading fan reviews of STSNWS S2E1 and they were dismal. People were saying the opening episode was underwhelming. after watching the episode you could say that was true. But I think fans need to have patience and wait for the story to develop. But hungry fans never do that. all action no story building as always. It was kinda slow, I will give you that, but I thought it was imaginative

We saw Spock show emotions, and the start of the Klingon wars. It was great to see Carol Kane join the cast. I can never forget her from the 1988 classic Christmas movie Scrooged as Ghost of Christmas Past. She was a spark of sunshine and still as perky and funny as always. 

However this is not comedy show, and it did have its dark moments. I believewhen you watch a 1st episode of and series, you need to give time for a story to develop. you don't want the entire season in the first episode

Enjoying Cedar Point with out Riding the Rides

 

For years me and my wife have had Season Passes to Cedar Point, but I never ride the rides but we still enjoy going. We get on the Giant wheel and do the boat ride and the train, but for me that's my limit. My wife may get on a roller coster or the swing ride or others. But for the most park we just walk around eat the food and rest in the VIP lounge.

Most of the time we will go on a Friday right after work and eat dinner using our meal pass, and maybe take a train ride. I am 60 she is 56, it's our date night.  depending on the time of season we will take in the shows. The shows are enjoyable for us. sometimes on a weekend we wake up early and say let's go! If we elect to stay the whole day, we can because we have several options

Then starting in September we go to HallowWeekends many times. Again we see the shows and play games. If you look in to the history of Cedar Point, it has always been a place to just go and enjoy. I sometimes wish the park would focus on other aspects of the park than just the rides. It is truly fun for all ages.

My favorite new place at the park is the Grand Pavilion located by the new Boardwalk section. it's like being on vacation without being on vacation. 

But to each his own, People might say I am not taking full advantage of the Passes, wich may be true. To each his own, But people just need to have fun even if they make their own. live today no regrets tomorrow.

How long does it take to start Blogging again?

 Couple of years ago I had a great blogging network, or so I thought. I was posting at least three post a day. I had two blogs going and I had a great system going. But then I had a great Ideal that I would get rid of my laptop and write from a Ipad, that did not work like I expected. It just did not work and my blog post became less and less and before I knew it years had passed by.

At the beginning of 2023 I purchased a MacBook Air. And slowly started writing again. 6 months later I have the tools I need and think I am ready to go full steam. I am still building my blog network back, but with all the money I have spent trying to get something going, It will work.

Things have changed for me over the past few years. in January 2021 I got COVID and spent a night in the Hospital and they was ready to put a respirator but in 24 hours my symptoms greatly improved and I went home the next day.

December 2nd 2022 The man I called Dad when my mom married him died. yes he was my stepdad, but he was a father figure in my life. 

3 weeks later my nephew died at the young age of 24. My family was devastated. But we overcame. Oh I forgot, I turned 60 on December 12th, but I did not have a big celebration like I had planned because of my Dad's death. We celebrated Christmas but 3 days later my nephew died. New years came in with a whimper, 

But on March 26th the family was blessed with my first Grandchild. Raylan Dennis Taylor. This gave me a whole new sense of what love was about. but I am ready to do this blogging again. This blog will be mostly entertainment. I will be writing more things about experiencing life on my Determination blog that has yet to be created on Blogger.

So state tuned it's going to get better I promise.
