Dickey's character is pretty funny in the Max comedy "Bookie." Curious to see her in a serious movie role.

This sighting was posted on Reddit 13 years ago and it’s kind of bugging me out. #ufosky www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/ElC...

It pulsated a deep red and when the inner sphere would light up the "plasma" (outer clear-ish sphere) would catch the light. The inner sphere reminded me of a    front loader washing machine, it was not a solid glowing red sphere, but instead seemed to be a 'red light liquid' was washing around. There was an inner 'yellow light liquid' with some white in the very center. It was very bright inside, and this white light peeking thru caused the red color to really light up making it appear, if you were further away, that it was simply pulsating a red light. (so strange)

As I am watching this I realize the "plasma" is.. de-materializing? The center red pulsating ball of light started to spin from right to left, and stretch and it grew wings. Plane wings. It looked a lot like a drone plane!!(Complete with a silvery finish, and what looked like a cockpit, however there was no 'tail end' to speak of) The outer sphere was now completely gone. It was facing me as I was driving at a constant speed of 75mph(I had cruise control on). On each wing tip there was a light, one yellow the other white, blinking on and off back and forth. At the underbelly was the SAME red ball of liquid light, still blinking. It seemed wobbly. The best way to describe it would be if you held a baton at the middle and made figure 8's with your wrist. It would be that motion.

I remember looking back at one point, to see if other cars were around me because I noticed the cars all in front of me had pretty well taken off. In my rearview mirror I saw cars were also far behind me. I was alone. 

Not moments later, after looking, a police cruiser with lights flashing but no siren, came up from my left and almost sideswiped my van, coming in between myself and the craft "drone plane look-alike". The craft was directly above the hood of the police cruiser.

Followed the Boston Marathon bombing pursuit on Twitter and Broadcastify the night it happened. There were so many events that made Twitter the place for breaking news back then.

I spent a couple of days with Burroughs and his entourage in 1989. He was there to give a reading along with Kathy Acker and a few others and to open his show of ‘Shotgun’ paintings at the Cold City Gallery. It was an interesting couple of days. I found the negatives a while ago in an envelope.

Turns out you can see the drones in this video I took, looking south towards Bedminster, NJ. The lights are flickering because they're moving through tree branches, but they are definitely there just hanging out. Weird. #ufosky

I do that at houses with unleashed dogs. 😆 Amazon Flex has a system in place that holds it against drivers who return packages to the warehouses. I usually toss them in the yard, snap a pic, and move on.

Trust me, if a driver hears a bark, they will make a note in the app to give other drivers a warning. It happens all the time with contained dogs.

D @happyfunball9.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Yes,hardcore dogs. Last week, it was a Doberman trying to jump through my driver's side window at 3 am. I actually love dogs, but it's the dogs that don't love me that are the problem with this gig. Your house probably has a BEWARE OF DOG(S) warning posted on the homescreen for DSP/Flex drivers.

D @happyfunball9.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Not at all. Amazon GPS is really bad. Drivers also have to deal with houses without numbers and mailboxes; which makes it a guessing game for certain stops. I won't even go into detail about the crazy dogs I've had to deal with over the years. 😆 Some customers just don't give af. Haha

D @happyfunball9.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
I do Flex deliveries outside of my real job and can attest that the GPS system for Amazon is a bit screwed up for certain addresses. I always double-check questionable stops with Google Maps/Street view. Unfortunately, not all DSP/Flex drivers are on the same wavelengths. 😆

Clemson's always been better than the Tobacco Road teams in the ACC. They won the national champions in 1981 with Danny Ford. UNC football is going to be the redheaded stepchild of UNC basketball for eternity. It's nice to be hopeful about such things, though. 😆
