Lord of Apes

It has been quiet here. My eyesight seems to have changed some so I went in to see Rob Mitchell at Oro Valley Eye care to have my eyes checked.
This time was cheaper than last because I brought an old pair of frames to have them upgrade the lenses.

We watched a couple of movies this week that I would recommend. First is The Cokeville Miracle. Cokeville is just East of Bear Lake, not far from Fossil Butte National Monument. It tells a faithful story of the bombing of the elementary school in 1986 where, of the 100+ hostages in the classroom when the bomb detonated, not a single victims life was lost. The people the movie focused on al view this event as a spiritual experience. I was inspired by the film (Amazon Prime).
The second movie we enjoyed was a Hollywood creation with some actual historical people depicted in it, principally this one:
Of course, Hollywood could not be content with telling actual history and paired Williams with Lord Greystoke.
The result was entertaining, even if they twisted Belgian King Leopold II's exploitation and enslavement of the people of Congo to be about diamonds instead of
rubber.

As for our family this week; Haley got lost trying to find a camp out...
...Eric and Krystal went to the Temple with Sam...

....And Gordon and Alison took John to the Donut Man...
..in the Donut Car.
