Cabin Fever

Me and Charley Jr. are watching "Signs." The thriller from Mel Gibson about aliens from outer space. Which reminds me, my sister, Ali, believes that e.t.'s from another galaxy are responsible for crop circles. But they are good aliens, and this is their way of making contact with Earth.

It's a nice thought and all that, but ( imho ) there are no other beings besides us. And it has nothing to do with religion or with being a dumb, hillbilly southerner.

While perusing the channel guide, Charlie noticed that "Cabin Fever" is playing on HBO. At midnight. So we're leaving signs behind.

"C.F." has a Friday the 13th feel about it, so far. And recalling the review, it is a blood and gore extravaganza. I may not be able to continue.

And some bad signs ( pun unintended ) have emerged. The attractive kids cuss and are having sex. And the cabin is in the woods, away from civilization. And two kids just went swimming.

Now they are sitting around a nite camp fire. And telling skerry tales. About disgruntled employees. ( haven't they heard of team members ) Who happen to be serial killers.

The local woman farmer just gutted a pig. That's enough for me. Time for bed.

Farewell and adieu, v.c.

P.S. Is it just me? Movies today- they don't make 'em like they used to.

Here's a great website about crop circles:

Be sure to navigate the whole site.
Making designs in landscapes, even beach sand, has become a high art form.
