Spencer Tracy movie - Northwest Passage.
It's about Roger's Rangers during the French and Indian War.
They've gone out and they've attacked the Indian village and now they're returning, but they're out of food, so they're having to scavenge. They broke up into separate parties and they all met at point X bringing whatever they had found to eat.
One guy had brought about a dozen minnows, and they put them in a pot of hot water and they were making minnow soup.
That's what I was thinking when I was watching that. He's going to prepare himself a nice bowl of minnow soup.-

This reminded me. 1985. Hurricane. For 3 days after the hurricane I did not have electricity. My father-in-law, two houses over, had electricity. We were running a extension cord out of his kitchen in the my kitchen, to plug in my refrigerator so food would not spoil. But I had no electricity.
YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL IN AN OUTAGE - WE KNOW. WE WILL GET THERE.
I went out and drove around the neighborhood. Everybody had electricity except me.
I called in an outage. It turns out that I was on a short little line. There were only three houses on that line. One was for sale and was empty. The one right across the street from me, the owner was on vacation. And then there was me. They sent a truck out, and the guy reaches up with a long PVC Pole with a hook on the end of it and reset the transformer, and I have electricity.
But you don't have to tell the electric company that you're having an outage because THEY KNOW!!!

The electric company has said, numerous times, that you do not have to call and report an outage. They know.
At 6:30 this morning the power went out. I let it sit. I figured they'd take care of it.
At a quarter to 8:00 I called to report an outage. The automatic/automated/AI/whatever the hell that was talking to me - it was not a person - told me that they were aware of it, and then it was only affecting sixty residences, and they expected to have it repaired by 9:45.
That would be two more hours. It had already been out for an hour and a half and now they're saying it would be another 2 hours.
10 minutes later I noticed my ceiling fan is working again.
I did not complain and nothing happened for an hour and a half. I complain and 10 minutes later I have electricity

I've seen a couple of clips from some medieval type video - don't know if it's a movie or a TV show or a mini series or what. The girl has a baby and in one of them she and the guy are discussing the name for the baby. In another one someone asks the girl's name and she tells him and then they ask the baby's name and the guy says she hasn't chosen the name yet
And that sort of makes sense. I never named my dogs. I let them tell me what their name was. So my dogs might not have a name for a couple of months before they do something that lets me know their name.
Let's say I have a newborn baby. Why does he need a name. He certainly not going to come when I call him. So as long as I come up with the name anytime within the next year or so, it should be fine.
But if you had the baby in the hospital do they require you name it before you leave?
It seems like they would, with hospital records and birth certificate and crap like that.

If they do a MRI on a zoo animal, do they sedate it first?
I had an MRI on my knee. Took about 20 minutes. And then they had to do it again. They complained that I kept moving and that ruined the imaging.
I'm thinking, well hell, if it absolutely cannot move, have you considered strapping it in place? "Just lie here absolutely still for half hour." Is that even possible
