More Thank Yous

I’m also very happy and grateful for the wonderful article in the Gloucester-Mathews Gazette-Journal by Sherry Hamilton. Many people said they learned of the Yucatan Travel Movie‘s screening from the newspaper.

A Day for Thank Yous

Today I’m writing thank you letters to the many people who made the premiere screening of the Yucatan Travel Movie at Gloucester Library such a success. I especially appreciate Ginny Snowden at Gloucester Library who arranged the event, designed the posters and introduced the program yesterday. She was great!

A Wonderful Debut of the Yucatan Travel Movie

We had a full house at Gloucester Library today for the first screening of the Yucatan Travel Movie. I was thrilled that five people even came from “Southside” – Norfolk and Virginia Beach – south of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. That’s a long drive! It was wonderful to see everyone who attended. And, the question/answer period was lively and interesting. I also loved the fantastic introduction Gloucester librarian Ginny Snowden gave us and the movie. A warm welcome!

Yucatan Travel Movie Screening tomorrow

Tomorrow’s the big day. The premiere of the Yucatan Travel Movie at the Gloucester Library at 2:00 p.m. Admission Free with complimentary chips and salsa from El Ranchito mexican Restaurant.

Marvelous Gazette Journal Article and Photo

“Gloucester filmmaker to screen travel documentary on Sunday,” reads the headline for the July 8, 2010 Gazette-Journal article announcing the Gloucester Library screening of the Yucatan Travel Movie at 2:00 p.m.

The article was great – telling about what it took to make the movie.

Miriam interviewed by Neal Steele at WXGM

It was a great day! Miriam Balsley, narrator of the Yucatan Travel Movie, had a wonderful talk radio interview at WXGM Xtra 99.1 FM in Gloucester, Virginia. Neal Steele, an amazingly comfortable and easy-going talk show host that puts you immediately at ease interviewed her – a great experience.

Firefox Logo Crop Circle

All along I have been thinking that the gorgeous crop circles must have been made by supernatural means . . . or extraterrestrials . . . because they are so intricate. However, students in Oregon made a crop circle that looks just like the Firefox logo. It is intricate and gorgeous. You can even have a look at it at Google Maps. If such a crop circle as the Firefox logo was made by humans, it follows that all the other crop circles could likely have been made by humans as well. There goes the supernatural/aliens theory! Down the drain.

Crop Circles Have Appeared throughout History

I just learned that crop circles are not a modern phenomenon. I don’t know why I thought they were. Evidently, they have been appearing since the Middle Ages and in many countries throughout the world. During the Middle Ages, they were called “Witch” or “Pixie” circles, because, I assume, people at that time thought that witches or supernatural pixies made the circles. Today, many people think they are made by extraterrestrials and UFOs. Recently, a couple of men came forward and said that they were making the crop circles. However, these men lived in England and crop circles were appearing in many countries around the globe such as Australia and Canada. I learned this information and much more in a series of YouTube videos.
