Last nite / early this morning, I warched Frankenstein Meets the space Monster. It lived up to its reputation of being a very poorly made film, but at 77 minutes, it wasn't too hard to sit through.
I really felt for the Frank, the robot astronaut who becomes a disfigured "Frankenstein" type of monster, and who looses his life at the end of the film battling the space monster when the space ship they are in blows up.

Got all of my work done yesterday. It was good getting out of the shack and seeing other people.
I also see other people when I am doing my jogging. I have resumed my jogging after seven months of inactivity.
I keep a logbook of my jogging, and I gave it up, after keeping it up for a long time, in March of this year, because of the cold winds.

Right now, I am watching the 1997 film, Men In Black, about the men who allegedly try to get UFO witnesses to keep quiet about their sightings.
I've watched 55 mins of the film, and need to watch the rest of it.
It's not really what I am looking for, as far as UFOs go.
I've heard about one film, titled, They Rode the Flying Saucers, about the old time days of UFOs.
Anyone hear of that film, and/or see it?
One film I did see about the Good Old Days of UFOlogy was titled Farewell Good Brothers, and I liked it a lot.

The one thing I do have that gets me out of my shack, is my job, although I usually work at it only one day a week, for about four hours or so.
I do like seeing all the people in the workplace, and I think that they like seeing me.

I check the hermits slate message board from time to time, altho it is a very low traffic board.
Recently, I have joined find a grave to find out some how some long some of the hermits reported on in the newspapers lived, after the were discovered.
I am especially interested in Charlie Bowers, who was discovered in West Virginia in early 1971. when declining health and bad weather forced him to give up his hermit lifestyle and to live in a retirement home on social security, after he had lived 14 years in an abandoned coke oven.

Are you still living in Poland?
I have a fear of what might I might hear when I play the messages on my telephone answering machine.

Welcome back! How have you been? Thanks for asking scotty. I keep getting a year older, and a year older, and the years add up. I'm not really "doing anything" with my life, and I feel that it has been a total waste. I am becoming more and more isolated from other people, and more and more a recluse. On the postive side, I have had screenings for cancers that can occur as we get older, and no sign of that bad disease. I am very glad that I can walk, and talk, and see, and hear and breathe, which I know that many people cannot do. I had been jogging about an hour every day, and while I was very depressed and felt that my life was a total waste, starting the day off by jogging, did make me feel better. I have not jogged in quite a few months. Today, I did walk to the supermarket to get some food, rather than driving my car there. And, I plan to start back jogging, also. I am glad I am still alive and in relatively good health.

Hello Strawberry, I'm doing fairly well all things considered, still dealing with the same issues obviously but I've learned to do the best I can with what I have. In about two months from now I'm going to be 30 years old and I do feel that even though I'm still feeling rather lonely I've definitely made significant progress in the past 10 years. Hopefully I'll be able to start a relationship in the next 10 years, fingers crossed . How about you Strawberry, how has life been treating you lately ? Hey Grayback! Glad to hear you feel you've made some progress! I turn 30 in October... not looking forward to it. Just looking at that number terrifies me quite honestly. :S I...have taken some steps backwards, unfortunately. But, I know it's something that needed to happen. I had a long-term relationship, which ended. Just over a year ago, had moved into a house and now I'm back in a studio apartment. Just trying to pick up the pieces and figure out my life all over again. To be honest, I hate starting all over again. At the same time, I know I have to. So yeah...that's me right now really. I think one of my main frustrations is the thought that I am just going to have to go back to school for something worthwhile. Regarding that route, I regret my choices deeply.

A few years back, I started a thread titled "Hermits and Grit," based on an incomplete article I had from the old Grit newspaper, on Roy Ozmer, a hermit of the Florida Everglades. Grit also had an article on Charlie Bowers, a hermit who received fairly widespread attention across the USA in newspapers, including Grit, when aging and bad weather, forced Mr. Bowers to give up his hermit lifestyle. While I also posted the story of Mr. Bowers on another message board, I don't think I posted it here on SU, and I pretty much gave up on the Hermits and Grit thread because I had problems posting the photos. I've looked over all my posts here on SU, and don't think I have posted here on Hubcap Willie McDavid, a hobo who retired from riding the rails to live as a desert hermit outside of Palm Springs California. In the early 1960s Hubcap Willie was the subject of a photo essay in Life magazine, and I have thru the years wondered whatever happened to him. Fairly recently I did find out what happened to Hubcap Willie, and it is rather sad. Here's a link to the story of Willie when he was living, and also his death. forums.railpictures.net/showthread.php?t=17362
