Ive been bind watching for a week. Ive finished two seasons and 1/4 through the third season. I enjoy it very much.

Im sitting at home with a Civil War author who is noticing the mistakes throughout the series and fixing her dinner while buzzing through the commercials. Yes, I taped the series to buzz through the commercials. And we are also big Grant fans anyway. My ancestors being from Iowa fought with Sherman and Grant thoughout much of the war, so Im emotional bought into this series from the beginning. I listened on Audible the entire book of which this series is based. I enjoyed all 24 hours or so of listening. It was a long book. I was a re enactor for over 20 years so this is fun. And Ive been to many of Grant's most important battles. That helps me to be more engaged in the series. Grant is a serious hero for me, and I hate the Southern Confederacy, so this series is great for me. In the upper corner there is a box that shows the title Grant and under that is a "V" for violent, but for me it means "Victory." lol

My dad and I watched Mike Hammer. The girls were great looking, good photography great music and good acting. There was a bit too much focus on the Playboy girls with their guest appearances. Overall, I enjoyed the show.

Watching "The Young Turks" go on about the growth of the Progressive Movement and Bernie Sanders is like the ship builders of 1900 going on about the eventual building of the Titanic and passenger ship future. We now know the Establishment pulled the rug from underneath the Sanders campaign and the "ice berg" in the side of the Sander's campaign was the lack of "Black American" support. The "The Young Turks" seem as relevant as those who support a string connecting two soup cans and ignoring the "phone." "The Young Turks" are interesting. There is a "disconnect" with most Americans born before the Millennial Generation, by "The Young Turks."
