“Mission to Mars”, 2000, is a decent Brian De Palma movie.

My frustration, the most interesting part for me was how the Don Cheadle character survived on Mars alone for more than a year. Marooned. In a habitat that was only supposed to last a month. And not be self-sustaining.

His unexpected rescue by a 2nd Mars team only occupies a couple of minutes in a movie that concerned the exploration of face on Mars.

I wanted more.

My joy watching “The Martian” (novel 2011, movie 2015) is realizing I am watching a movie length of the most interesting part of “Mission to Mars”.

Check it out.

Tearing up the old damaged tiles and replacing with tiles I purchased. Making sure there are no leaks in the apartment below. Re-grouting my bathtub. Electrical work on a nonworking light switch.

We know birds like the passenger pigeon and the great auk were hunted to extinction.

There was a point in the 1880s where the buffalo population was reduced from tens of millions to less than 150 individuals. Only conservation brought them back to the numbers we have today.

But other than coastal pollution formerly limiting oyster beds, were there any fish or shellfish that early colonialist hunted to extinction?

I get the idea the acting style is intense, but restrained?

I don’t need to wake up to a half dozen aggressive obnoxious shares about Israel and hummus.

And I don’t need to hear how the Jews stole hummus from the Palestinians.

I don’t want stupid politics.

I do want hummus!

Holy Hummus introduced me to za’atar with hummus.

Anyone got any good recipes? How much za’atar would you use with 8 oz of me-made hummus?

It’s in my refrigerator now. Can I eat it within 24 hours? Would it help if I put it in my freezer? Is it still delicious? Or a science experiment?

My apartment’s been around 80°..

I didn’t know mushroom hot sauce is a thing. Anyone have experience? Recommendations?

I just heard about this when the algorithm offered me Good Luck Mushroom Hot Sauce.

Yes. I know elevators are out of service in many subway stations. I see it all the time.

But what’s different with the 74th St., Roosevelt Station, come on! It’s thousands of people every day first exposure to New York City past the airport.

For the sake of tourism and New York City’s reputation as the capital city of the world. And the city that gets things done.

Fix the two damn elevators.

It’s better to make New York City look good. Then make New York City look bad.
