Flurry of activity pays off

When Bladerunner 2049 was announced, I was ready and waiting. The Woman said she wouldn’t go see it until she had re-watched the original so she could better put the two together. So, I went to Amazon and had the original sent ahead to us in the Twin Cities. I figured 2049 would still be prominent in the theaters then.

Well, we got to Mystic Lake Casino (the only RV Park open this time of year in the area) and cracked out the disc. Oh no! The disc I ordered from Amazon was a multi-format disc, with one of the formats being traditional DVD. But the disc they sent was only Blu Ray, and wouldn’t play on our machine. So, a quick Google search found a Target 4 miles away, and I jumped in the Equinox and headed over. After scouring their shelves for some time, I finally found one copy sitting behind some other discs on the discount DVD shelf – yippee!

The Woman was happy. She got refreshed, and the next day we hopped to the nearest theater and took in Bladerunner 2049. It was great fun, although a bit stretched and slow at times. My goodness, we left the theater nearly 3 hours after the film started!

So, it all worked out as planned, despite the scuttle. And, the bonus paid for our movie, a Fat Tire and a Chardonnay. I sent the incorrect disc back to Amazon and they credited me the $24.99 it cost. The DVD I picked up at Target was $5 even. I think I ended up with a few cents in my pocket afterward!

Talk to you soon!
