Attack of the killer drones!



It’s hard to believe that a whole week has gone by. Except for the line dancing incident it’s been normal week. You can’t be in vacation mode all the time and we mixed the week up with some chores and relaxation.

We saw a couple good movies; we went to Clermont to see The Imitation Game and watched Hollywoodland on DVD.

The Imitation Game is the story of Alan Turing, the mathematician who developed the computer with which the British were able to decipher German coded messages during WW2. Millie and I both scored this movie a 9 on our 1 to 10 scale, we highly recommend it.



Hollywoodland is the story of actor George Reeves who played Superman back in the 50’s. It was told in flashback and intertwined with Reeves’s acting struggles there is another story line told by a private investigator looking into Reeves’s mysterious death. Millie and I rated it 5 and 6.5.




Millie had an interesting day on Saturday. She attended an eight hour class on Genealogy. She knew before we left home the class was being offered here at the campground and brought a folder of family information. She has converted the bedroom dressing table into an office and has been busy organizing her family history.



Tomorrow we move 70 miles south to the other Thousand Trails Campground for a one week stay. After that we start our southern Florida adventure which will take us all the way to Key West.



PS: It wasn’t me! I still have my drone! I couldn’t help but laugh when the news broke of the unauthorized intrusion into White House airspace and crash landing of a drone on the lawn. I’m really surprised the Secret Service didn’t try to take credit for shooting it down. Truth is this model drone is notorious for being carried away in the slightest breeze. Oh and I think yobama is safe from attack; other than the camera it is equipped with, the drone can’t carry any payload. In fact one of the tricks to increase performance is to lighten the load by removing the little plastic blade guards.
