The photo above, taken late this (Wednesday) afternoon from the deck of our house, shows the smoke above Colorado Springs. The local news is just announcing an expected containment date […]

Great movies that hit their target are hard to review, and Joss Whedon pretty much smacked this puppy out of the park.
