August 19 movie: Bend of the River. I watched this on the Saturday of the Mount Dora art car event. I'm not crazy about westerns, but it had Jimmy Stewart in it. Also Harry Morgan, one of the great character actors. The movie was a nice break after the afternoon, spent standing by the car chatting up Mt. Dora shoppers. It was a hot day, but despite my sunburn I enjoyed it. One of the space shuttle car guys (my apology to the space shuttle guys, but I'm really bad with names and much as I enjoyed talking with them, I never retained theirs. This was the shorter space shuttle guy with light brown hair, not the really tall one with black hair and mutton chops.) came by near the end of the day and expressed incredulity that I had stayed by my car all afternoon. He even offered to go get a beer for me! That was really kind of him, but as I told him, I don't drink beer. Besides, I was totally full from the mint milkshake I had gotten at the ice cream place across the street. Mint chocolate chip ice cream, milk and 2 mini peppermint patties in a blender. A bit too rich to eat the whole thing, but man it hit the spot.
