The Writer's Life 8/11 - Outer Space

Last night Movies!, channel 113 on Cablevision in NYC, ran An Eye for an Eye (1966), a standard revenge oater starring Robert Lansing and Patrick Wayne as bounty hunters. The supporting cast featured cinema stalwarts Slim Pickens, Strother Martin and Paul Fix. The love interest’s face was familiar, but I was unable to attach a name to it. Gloria Talbott amassed 115 credits during her career, not counting multiple appearances in different roles on popular TV series. Married four times, the last time for 30 years until her death, she passed away in 2000 at 69. Here is the movie poster from perhaps her most famous role:


And here is a close up:
A lot of intelligent media people, including conservatives, are on opposite sides of the Donald Trump candidacy. I don't know what to think, although I believe I understand his supporters, who are sick of career politicians. If he is the Republican nominee, I will vote for him. If he runs as a third party candidate, I will not, although I'd rather see him win than any Democrat, especially Hillary. I like the entire GOP field except for Bush and Christie.

New York Jets QB Geno Smith will be out of action for six to ten weeks. He was sucker-punched in the locker room by teammate Ik Enamkpali, a linebacker drafted in the sixth round out of Louisiana Tech in 2014. Maybe Enamkpali, who was immediately released, should blame cops. 

It was raining as hard as can be this morning. When I went out at 11AM, it was sprinkling. It stopped by the time I returned from a walk, and I decided to set up the book shop, although the sky was very overcast. Oddly, it was the best sales day I'd had in a week, and I only had to cover up the wares once, and only for a few minutes. My thanks to the four kind folks who purchased books. One, a young man with a Russian accent, asked for my phone number. He wasn't too happy that I wouldn't give it up, although I told him the days and time I opened shop in my regular nook. Others have asked and received the same response. I have surrendered my email address and, of course, encouraged interested parties to seek my Amazon author page or to contact me on social media. Maybe I'm being too careful, but it seems a bigger hassle may result from a phone number than the others.
