Expidite the expidited

I am headed to the passport office this AM to get a new passport. I didn't have time to do the expidited renewal after getting back from Japan. So I made an special expiditing appointment with the passport folks in Atlanta. I am glad I only have to drive into Atlanta, not fly up to NY or Washington DC. It seems I have had to do some expiditing everytime I have renewed my passport. Passports are good for 10 years. When you get a new passport it is a time to ponder where you will be and what the passport will look like in 10 years. The pic belows shows the wear on my now cancelled passport. it was a 50 page book (the extra pages version) and 46 pages are fully used. Many countries require 3 empty pages to enter their country.

Movie Set Neighborhood

-

Time is moving swiftly again. We are planning the next trip up North and a million other things.

There are lots and lots of movies filmed in Georgia these days. Look at what's on the abridged list in Gwinnett county. https://www.gwinnettfilm.com/filmed-in-gwinnett

We had part of a movie filmed right here in my neighborhood awhile back (2 years ago). The movie debuted on Netflix yesterday (Senior Year). Probabaly not going to be an iconic cult following classic, but it was a major production. I was amazed of the amount of equipment they brought in. The climax scene (the lake house) was shot at my neighbor's. Its fun to see what the final production makes of the scenes, people, footage, etc. It is always a surprise. Here are a couple of pics we took today of stuff that is in the movie. Even the bent guard rail (knocked out by a tree) and the tree stump are still the same.

Google News I will be moving my server host soon. The place I am using now could screw up anything. That is the reason I have not posted anything (seemingly) for quite some time. The name of the crapper server hosting company is IQuest Hosting. They just plain stink. They bought out the service I was using. Now because of their screw ups I am moving.
