AFI #65 – The African Queen
The African Queen 1951 Directed by John Huston Netflix says... Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart), the booze-guzzling, rough-hewn captain of a broken-down East African riverboat, teams with a straitlaced, iron-willed missionary (Katharine Hepburn) to take on a menacing German gunboat during World War I.

Question of the Week #73
Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow? Do you eat meat? No, I wouldn't be willing to go to a slaughterhouse to kill a cow. I'm not sure I'd even want to witness it being done.

These cars have a history of being safe and, therefore, are seen as good family vehicles. A few years back, Andy was forced to leave behind the … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the Station Wagon

Question of the Week #72
If you could have free, unlimited service for five years from an extremely good cook, chauffeur, housekeeper, masseuse, or personal secretary, which would you choose? I would choose housekeeper. I hate cleaning. I mean, I'm not messy or anything. But I'm not exactly good about vacuuming the carpets as often as is probably needed. I … Continue reading Question of the Week #72
