A Fun Night Out At The Movies? You Bet Jurassic It Was!

***EDITOR’S NOTE:  As I lazily transcribe and repurpose older posts from my former disused blog in a flailing effort to maintain relevance, I thank you all for sticking with me over these many years!  Oh, and yes, it is me again, editing and reediting my edits to reedit once more.  And now, here’s another bit …

3 Points At 2.25 Score: Almost Halfway to 90
