Beaufort, SC and the drive-in

Nothing much to post about. We are just taking it easy. I haven't recieved my first retirement check yet so we are keeping an eye on finances until I do. We went down to Beaufort again. That is where we have to go to get anything we can't get at the local convenience stores here. It is a nice little town with a waterfront and shops and restaurants.

Last night we went to the drive- in movies at Highway 21 Drive-In. We saw a double feature for $7! Can't beat that. It was Rush and Runner Runner. Rush was about Formula 1 racing in the 1970's and the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Some good racing sequences but the beginning is kind of slow. Runner Runner is a Ben Affleck flick about off shore on-line gambling. Ben plays the rich embezzeling villain which is a nice departure for him and Justin Timberlake is the naive math whiz who cracks the scam and becomes the patsy- or so Ben thinks. So-so film that I wouldn't have paid full price for in the theatre.
  Now that the government shut down is over we plan on going to Charleston so I should have plenty to post about. Until then I got the Steelers on today looking for win #2. We have the Cardinals and Red Sox in the series- again. I'll watch if there is nothing else on. The Penguins are off to a tremendous start with Sidney Crosby getting two or three points a game. This is his best start since his rookie year and hopefully he can go injury free this season. Of course it is all meaningless when you get swept out of the playoffs.
