The Two Doctors
Troughton was underutilized, but otherwise a strong script and an entertaining episode. But the level of violence was questionable for Who, with the constant threats to eat humans, the murder of a secondary character, and the Doctor himself cavalierly killing a foe.

The Gulf Crisis
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and the UAE have cut ties with Quatar. This is important. Qatar stands accused of backing ISIS, and its neighbors are not happy.
LOL
Outside Little Caeser's was a young woman holding a sign that said "deaf and homeless. Please help." As i was walking by her a car honked loudly and her head snapped to the side to look 😂 lol
The Marshall Plan
This is also the 70th anniversary of George Marshall unveiling the Marshall Plan during a commencement speech at Harvard.
Midway
I have not forgotten that this is the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. Thank you for your sacrifice en route to victory.

Happy Birthday LuLu
Happy 14th birthday! Thanks for making sure my pictures always look good, and for listening to me rant about boys. You've been there for me no matter what, and I appreciate that. I know we argue but it always works itself out in end. Love you! - YaYa
Times Have Changed
June 4 1940: We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
June 4 2017: Run, hide, tell. (the new UK anti-terror slogan)
Farewell Great Britain. T'was nice to know you.
Happy Birthday!
Happy 14th birthday to my OJ/Livvie Lu/LuLu/Centerpiece! I love you more than lips can tell. Xo 🎂
Wonder Woman
For her birthday today I took LU to see Wonder Woman at the Avalon. The verdict? It was great, excellent even. It is easily the best DCEU movie and on par with the top Marvel films. I don't understand why Steve worked for the Brits - he should have reported to Pershing, who might have done something about the problem - but otherwise, all good. Go see it already!

Time and the Rani
At one point the actress playing the Rani, a renegade female Time Lord, says "This is idiotic," and I'm not sure if she was reading dialogue or just telling the truth. A stupid plot, less than B movie action sequences, a four dollar budget . . .sigh. But it holds a special place in my heart, as long ago it was the first (then) new Who I'd ever seen, broadcast out of a Madison PBS station only a year after it played on the BBC.
