Duncanville Band

The Berkner Rams faced off against Duncanville High School Friday night. Besides seeing the Rams and the #1 ranked Panther football team, fans were treated to two of the state's best marching bands as well. Halftime was a real treat.

Run Wild, Run Free

Milton Catalina, 65 yd QB run

The Duncanville Panthers visited the Berkner Rams Friday night. Duncanville prevailed 42-0, but losing to Duncanville, the #1 ranked team in the state of Texas, is nothing to be embarrassed about. Berkner did have a few highlights: two interceptions and a 68 yard quarterback run in the first half.

POTD: Classic Road Picture

From 2018 09 20 Monument Valley

Today's photo-of-the-day is from mile marker 13 on US 163 in Utah, just south of Mexican Hat, looking south to Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah border. The spot is sometimes called Forrest Gump Point, the spot where Forrest Gump decided to stop running.

Forrest Gump: That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.

Forrest Gump: [running] I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours.

[he stops and turns around]

Young Man Running: Quiet, quiet! He's gonna say something!

Forrest Gump: [pause] I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now.

Ad Astra (2019)

Rotten Tomatoes

Ad Astra (2019): Moon pirates, rampaging space gorillas, and too many other absurdities and plot holes to fit in 280 characters. Even the human interest, a man's search for his missing astronaut father out by Neptune, consumes the whole movie, then reaches a nothing climax. C-

POTD: Contemplating Infinity

From 2018 09 20 Monument Valley

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah border. It shows a small boy sitting on a big ledge contemplating infinity. Or so that's how I like to see it.
