REVIEWS:
Alan reviewed Disney's 'Jungle Cruise' as very enjoyable & felt like an Indiana Jones film, John O followed, saw it on the big screen & found it wonderful & a 'very fun ride' - worth full price;
& Alan reviewed an episode of the original 1966 Ultraman series that - while it looked dated - the alien monsters were cool & he recommends the show & Yochanan agreed
Yochanan reviewed 'The Green Knight', seen at the local AMC theatre, as he found it a very different & interesting movie & was worth matinee - possible worth a second viewing - and answered the question that it appeared to follow the original story;
& Yochanan reviewed Pamela Simpson's - 'Partners in Time', a time travel book - as he found it interesting, although it seems to be more a romance & a 'good waste of time'
Lisa reviewed attending MythCon online, which had 3 tracks on-going on Zoom, as there were some glitches but it was a wonderful convention & will have a follow-up con in winter & may have an in-person con next July in Albuquerque
Gerry reviewed the docking of spacecraft at space stations as still a work in progress & hopes that they have learned something by prior attempts;
& Gerry pointed out that there was an article from Popular Mechanics in 1912 about how adding CO2 to the atmosphere would warm the planet, see:

The BASFA outing to the SJ Giants was reviewed by many people as a good time was had by all - with especial call-outs to the excellent shade, wonderful attendant service & the unlimited water & soda was terrific - plus they sent home left-overs with some of us
Gerry recommends that we leave a good review for the people who attended us
we adjourned at 8:54 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'The San Jose Giants are inspired by BASFA's attendance'
