Like, Love and Don't Like

This week, I like Campfire Woodfuel. This is a Birmingham-based firewood delivery company that specializes in kiln-dried hardwoods. I've ordered deliveries from them for the past few years and I usually reserve this wood for indoor fires. Thanks to the artic blasts we've been experiencing lately, our fireplace has been used a lot. 


I've had great experiences with Campfire Woodfuel. The ordering process is very easy and they deliver right to your door. And the wood is definitely dry and bug-free. Burns great, too. Plus, they've always provided branded matches and fatwood. Check them out for yourself if you're tired of wet wood!

This week, I love my rubber boots. Rain boots, galoshes...whatever you call 'em. My parents gave me a pair for Christmas a few years ago. Although there are only certain times of the year when I wear them, they are great to have at those times. These boots are perfect for the colder months, when our yard doesn't get a lot of sun and stays wet and mushy. 


I'm not sure of the brand but I believe they are still available on Amazon. I've been wearing them a lot lately. They're easy to pull on and off and seem very durable. I just hose them off before keeping them in the garage and they're ready for the next round. 

This week, I don't like the state of the movie industry. It just seems all the movie studios are trying too hard - and when that doesn't work, they remake one of their older, more successful films. Who knew we had such a good thing with all of the Marvel movies? Did anyone see that train coming to a screeching halt? Not me! 

It's all about quantity over quality now (see: Star Wars). I don't think the rapid availability of in-home access helps either. Graham went to see Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the theater earlier this month. Despite being released on December 20th and doing very well in terms of ticket sales, it was made available for online purchase today (January 21st). True, technology speeds up the home-release process (hello, VHS), but this seems way too quick. And some of that has to do with the changing preferences of movie watchers. But I have to think the rush to produce new films is really watering down the output.

I dunno...this guy seems to think the problem starts with movie budgets that have gotten out of hand.
