"NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN"

Last night I went to a move theatre for the first time in 4 months. I expected it to be decent. I believe it deserves to win Best Movie of the Year. I must reach far back to remember anything remotely as real as this one. I felt myself operating in two worlds throughout the movie. The visible presence of Chigurh moving around as an effective and twisted predator (almost a hint of evil-incarnate)wasn't as gripping as the unseen forces recognized by some.

I hope you will take the time to read the newspaper article that alerts us to something worthy of our attention. Warriors are bound to protect ALL innocent and vulnerable people.

What is a 'thumper bump post' ? Anytime, I come across a post, an essay, writing of whatever sort that thumps me--brings me to attention--that gets posted here will be called a 'thumper bump' post. It just means I felt like I got thumped in a good way as I read it. Since I got thumped, these posts bump anything I might have written to back of the line.
