    WHEN BUZZ LIGHTYEAR IN THE ORIGINAL "TOY STORY" SAID, "TO THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND," LITTLE DID WE KNOW HE WAS PREDICTING HOW MANY SEQUELS "BEYOND" "TOY STORY" THE MOVIE WOULD HAVE! :smiley:

    ... and I thought two sequels added to the original "Godfather" was pushing it...

    OK, admittedly there have been 12 official live-action feature films in the Star Wars franchise, but arguably only three qualify as Sequels (Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.)

    (AI actually gives "Godzilla" credit for the record at 37 sequels which includes both Japanese and American made movies. Rather than true sequels though one could argue that simply are 37 movies in which Godzilla is a character.)

    Coming to a theatre near you....ARE YOU READY FOR A FIFTH?

    DURING THIS FIRST WEEK OF JUNE, WITH ITS RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES, SEABIRDS AND CANADIAN GEESE SURROUND THE COOL WATERS OF ANCHORAGE ALASKA'S COOK INLET, BOATERS RACE ON ITS TREACHEROUS WATERS, AND F-22 RAPTORS ROCKET UP OVER AND FALL BACK DOWN TOWARD THE INLET'S SCENIC SNOW-CAPPED MOUNT SUSITNA

    The first two videos in the below linked playlist capture the same uS Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter jet as it first rockets upward into the Alaska stratosphere and then, in the second video, it is seen "freely fallin' " towards earth's scenic snow-capped Mt Susitna, accompanied by the music, Free Fallin'."

    Subsequent videos add flights above Anchorage's Cook Inlet by both F-22 Raptors and a USAF C-17 iconic transport. Included are views of the stunning Alaska scenery surrounding Cook Inlet with mountains Susitna, McKinley a/k/a Denali, its sister Mt Foraker and active Volcano Mt Spurr located some 80 miles distant.

    Also included are views of Seabirds and Canadian Geese as they flock to the shores of Anchorage's Cook Inlet as well as videos of speeding inflatables racing and turning on the treacherous ocean waters of Cook Inlet below the backdrop of scenic Mount Susitna.

    HOW TO MAKE "FREE" WINDOW SCREENS FROM AVAILABLE MATERIALS

    Temperatures hit record highs this first week of June in Anchorage Alaska where home air conditioning is unknown. After several evenings in our temporary rental home with the bedroom windows left open for fresh air we soon found we were sharing the space with neighborhood bees.

    Not wanting to invest in costly screen windows, another solution was sought. That prompted the MacGyver in me to find a way to use readily available materials to come up with “Free” Screen Windows

    In this video you will learn step-by-step how you too can make “Free” Screen Windows.
