this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'old henry'. trace adkins was in it, in a small role. notable about this western was that there were no women in it, and the closing credits listed just 8 actors in the cast. it was about a widowed farmer who takes in an injured man who had a satchel full of money. i agreed with the main character's teenage son when he wanted to be taught how to use a weapon, but the dad wouldn't teach him. the setting was in oklahoma in the early 1900s, just before it achieved statehood. since it is a western, of course there was a body count. the injured man claims to have witnessed the killing of billy the kid by pat garrett. it was filmed in tennessee.
after the movie was done it was time to get started on errand running. first stop was to my post office box, there was 2 items to pick up, including an eminem CD i ordered from amazon. then i dropped off recycle at the capitol, and made another visit to barnes and noble at har-mar in roseville. i got not only the companion book to the ken burns country music documentary, but also a thin book with stickers about the movie 'space jam'. i also stopped at the cub foods in the same complex and got a burrito for lunch, as well as some 'grinch' candies. then i dumped the movie at the gas station and made it home and had a late lunch. i had college football on for much of the day, and watched the ending of the minnesota/wisconsin game, gophers won so the iowa hawkeyes will play in the conference championship game. in the evening i made it to aldi for my weekly grocery order. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 9 cents. also notable about the day was seeing an inflated christmas-themed charlie brown display at cub foods, made shopping there more fun. of course i got pictures of it.
