Franletta Month - Day 1 - Surprise

Violetta had been talking about getting a dog for months. So one day, while Vilu was out with Angie and her grandmother, Francesca went to the dog shelter. It was hard because there were so many lovely dogs, Cookie, Rolo, Zeus and one called Diego (which she thought was hilarious). But there was something about Rosa, she was so happy and cuddly and Fran thought that Rosa would fit in perfectly with Fran and Vilu’s little family.

Kotlc incorrect quotes

Keefe: If Bianca and I were drowning, who would you save? Fitz: You two can’t swim? Bianca: It’s a hypothetical question, Fitz! who would you save? Fitz: my time and effort.

Sophie: Can you please be serious for five minutes?  Keefe: My record is four, but I think I can do it.

Keefe: How did none of you hear what I just said?  Biana: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.  Sophie: I got distracted about halfway through.  Tam: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Biana: If you can’t beat them, dress better than them

New portrait - and it’s my darling boy!! The one and only Wonderboy, Fitz Vacker!!

AHHHHH I LOVE HIM okay okay

He is indeed hot as fuck!! Very happy he came through. Fitz is described to be pretty much perfect looking, and I love that he genuinely looks it. He’s supposed to be gorgeous, and he is. The symmetrical face, the bright iconic teal eyes, the neatly combed hair!

That’s another thing - his hair is very neat! It makes a lot of sense. Fitz is supposed to be like the epitome of perfect, and having perfectly combed hair only adds to it. In his last portrait, I think his hair was a little too messy.

In this, I feel like he’s just completely giving off ‘jock’ and ‘school heartthrob’. He has the trademark smile that looks like a movie, the straight nose, the muscular look, and more.

And he and Biana look related! They have the same eye shape and bright teal color. Fitz also looks like what Alden would, as well, though which is perfect since he supposed to be pretty close in looks to his dad.

Anyway, so glad my boy’s portrait came out! So excited to see what more happens!

James Earl Jones, RIP

Just heard the heartbreaking news, one of the greatest, most awesome and all time INCREDIBLE actors of all time, as well as one of the sweetest, kindest and most selfless human beings ever, has passed away. The seemingly immortal James Earl Jones, one of the most famous actors of his generation, well respected on both big and small screens AND on the stage for over SEVEN DECADES, respeonsible for portraying some of my favourite screen characters ever ... this might be the one that hurts me the most this year ...

Of course, like everybody, he will FOREVER be most closely associated with Star Wars, as the voice of probably the greatest screen villain of all time, Darth Vader.

But he was also King Jaffe Joffer, the father of Eddie Murphy's wayward prince in Coming to America and its sequel ...

The Counter Culture author Terence Mann in the magnificent Field of Dreams, as well as ...

NSA Agent Abbott in director Phil Alden Robinson's next film, the underrrated suspense thriller Sneakers ...

Simba's dad Mufasa in The Lion King ...

Jack Ryan's CIA boss and father figure, Admiral Jim Greer, in The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games AND Clear & Present Danger ...

Lt. Luther Zogg in one of my favourite screen comedies of all time, Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb (his VERY FIRST big screen role) ...

and, of course, MY very favourite role that he EVER PLAYED, the role I will always MOST FONDLY remember him for, one of my very favourite ever screen villains, the dastardly ancient wizard Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian.

Oh yeah, and also those brilliant and thoroughly hilarious Sprint adverts in which he and Malcolm McDowell would read out inane social media posts with the utmost gravitas as though it was Shakespeare ...

The man had an AMAZING RUN, and he is guaranteed to go down as one of the all time greats, beloved around the world and destined to become one of the true icons of the 20th AND 21st Centuries, remembered LONG after his passing. But he's STILL gone far too soon ...

James Earl Jones, January 17th 1931 - September 9th 2024. Rest In Power.

Neil Alden Armstrong - Aug 5. 1930 - Aug. 25, 2012

US Navy aviator, NASA astronaut, research pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor, commander of Gemini 8 and the first man to walk on the Moon.

"Despite Armstrong's status as an American icon for being the first man to set foot on the moon, he considered himself first and foremost as an engineer and pilot." ~ David McBride, director of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center

That Delmonico Home Theater looks like it was photographed as if it was some kind of religious icon.

“All this happening at once is really startling,” said Joseph Schwieterman, a DePaul University professor who researches intercity bus travel and directs the university’s Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development. “You’re taking mobility away from disproportionately low-income and mobility-challenged citizens who don’t have other options.”

Roughly three-quarters of intercity bus riders have annual incomes of less than $40,000. More than a quarter would not make their trip if bus service was not available, according to surveys by Midwestern governments reviewed by DePaul University.

Intercity bus riders are also disproportionately minorities, people with disabilities, and unemployed travelers.

A spokesperson for Greyhound, which is now owned by German company FlixMobility, said it strives to offer customers the most options for connections, but has “encountered challenges in some instances.” The spokesperson also said they “actively engage with local stakeholders to emphasize the importance of supporting affordable and equitable intercity bus travel.”

The terminal closures have been accelerating as Greyhound, the largest carrier, sells its valuable terminals to investors, including investment firm Alden Global Capital.

Last year, Alden subsidiary Twenty Lake Holdings purchased 33 Greyhound stations for $140 million. Alden is best known for buying up local newspapers like The Chicago Tribune, New York Daily News and The Baltimore Sun, cutting staff, and selling some of the iconic downtown buildings.

Alden has started to sell the Greyhound depots to real estate developers, speeding up the timetable for closures.

“I don’t know the specific details of each building, but it is clear what is happening here: an important piece of transit infrastructure is being sacrificed in the name of higher profits,” said Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, a professor of real estate at Columbia Business School.

“The public sector has turned a cold shoulder to buses,” DePaul’s Schwieterman said. “We subsidize public transit abundantly, but we don’t see this as an extension of our transit system. Few governments view it as their mandate.”

Bus terminals are costly for companies to operate, maintain and pay property taxes on. Many have deteriorated over the years, becoming blighted properties struggling with homelessness, crime and other issues.

But terminal closures cause a ripple effect of problems.

Travelers can’t use the bathroom, stay out of the harsh weather or get something to eat while they wait. People transferring late at night or early in the morning, sometimes with long layovers, have no place to safely wait or sleep. It’s worse in the cold, rain, snow or extreme heat.

Bus carriers often try to switch to curbside service when a terminal closes, but curbside bus service can clog up city streets with passengers and their luggage, snarl traffic, increase pollution, and frustrate local business owners. In Philadelphia, a Greyhound terminal closure and switch to curbside service after its lease ended turned into a “humanitarian disaster” and “municipal disgrace” with people waiting on street corners.
