TIME TRAVELLER

The stupid thing about me losing 90 pounds this past year and dropping from 309 lbs to 220 lbs is that I have 'been here before.'   As I wrote many times in the past, about eight years ago I tipped the scale at 300 lbs and dropped 80 lbs and briefly touched upon a weight of 220 lbs (for about five minutes) before I reversed course and zoomed back up and beyond where I had started.   This time I have no plans on repeating that stupidity.    

As I travel the countryside I often pass things that make me believe that I am a time traveller.   Last week on the way to Evanston, Indiana I was surprised to pass a bonafide DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE.   At first glance though, the marquee might have looked like it was from a long-closed theatre as the movie titles were from long ago:  TERMINATOR and JURASSIC WORLD.   Of course, I realized that this is a statement about HOLLYWOOD constantly revisiting movies that have been released in the past.  Nevertheless, this DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE is currently active.  I checked the internet to discover that there are only about 300+ DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRES left in America these days.   

Another thing that I have passed in my approximately half million miles travelled in my automobile in the past 20+ years is an actual phone booth.  I think I have seen less than half dozen of these antiques.  Seeing an actual telephone booth is an extremely rare thing to see.   

Although it is said that history repeats itself...

I do not ever expect to see drive in movie theaters making a comeback.
I do not ever expect to see telephone booths on every other street corner
I do not ever expect to weigh 300+ lbs again.  (or anywhere near there)
