What movie is that?

o It appears as if 55+ condo complex retirement 'communities' exist more to kowtow to the cement-block industry which was initiated decades ago here in Martin County, FL, a brief history as reported within the pages of local Stuart News journalism.

o This past week, showings of an animated film titled, 'The Marvelous Adventures of Flapjack' were scheduled throughout the region at the CART (cartoon) TV channel -- never mind that the theme was originally intended to be a children's book about a breakfast food. The opening sequence of the film shows animated cartoon imagery of a sheet of rain become guillotine that separates a dreadlocked human head from the body.

About a month ago, an obituary was printed in the Palm Beach Post newspaper that showed a headshot photo of a deceased young man that does resemble the cartoon character described. The deceased youth bears the surname of a popular jazz drummer, and apparently the planned volume-theme has been pre-empted in favor of a sort of tribute film not publically advertised as such. Although the montage-type film sequence to some extent illustrates the problem of flux directed toward specific locales, it is entirely possible that many will find the film to be emotionally offensive.

o Tropical Storm Fay is on its way toward Key Largo, the TV/newspaper journalism tells us, where a small beaked whale was captured and euthanized more than a month ago, as well. It is not yet reported to be a hurricane, as approaching from Cuba environs.
