§ Short Circuit....


Did you ever see the cute movie from long ago...Short Circuit c. 1986? Number 5 of a group of experimental robots in a lab is electrocuted, suddenly becomes intelligent, and escapes. Number 5 is the 'star of the movie' which Steve Guttenberg is the scientist that begins chasing after the escapee to re-capture him. Anyway, Number Five, "Number 5 Alive", has stuck with me throughout. And when we went to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge a few days ago, and I climbed the high tower...along the way, at each post, there were solar wires sticking up [capturing the solar energy to light up the incline to the top at night]. And when you arrive AT THE TOP there are two scopes to use for viewing long distance. One in particular made me instantly remember the darling Number Five! And, naturally, I had to take a snapshot.

Compare the movie still above to the photo I took of the scope on the tower with the solar sticks, below!!  I guess you really have to use your imagination more or less.  To me, it was Short Circuit all over again in MY mind.

If you haven't seen this movie from decades ago, maybe you can find it somewhere online to watch since most people are sheltered in place these days. It's good, wholesome, family, entertainment. I recommend seeing it. Even suitable for your grandkids.
