Solar Farms, Red Road, The Jackal

News and Other Stuff of Note:

New solar farm going up near Phoenix. Will take up three square miles of desert and eventually provide energy for 70000 home. Completion date: 2011. Great idea. Let's do everything we can do to keep the sun shining...

Afternoon movie: Red Road. A honey set in Glasgow , Scotland (third most populous city in the United Kingdom at 1,700,000) which won the 2006 Cannes Jury Prize. 'Taut thriller' with a very satisfactory ending which includes a bit of tearing. Wouldn't call it a love story though does have a bit of lust in it and the use of sex to trap an unsuspecting male. Now that is new and different...

Evening movie: The Jackal. Shoot em up adventure with Bruce Willis, Richard Gere and Sidney Portier. In the end everything turned out and the bad guys met terrible ends and the good guys walked off into the sunset. However, lots of weak moments in this movie - scenes, script, acting. We were both kinda glad when it ended...
