I'm remembering Beverlee McKinsey, a talented, mature, and attractive actress best known for her television work in the 1960s and beyond.

I recall watching and rewatching a cool episode of The Twilight Zone titled It's a Good Life. In the episode, a boy with incredible supernatural powers does horrific things to the people in a small town. I rate the episode a strong 8 of 10 stars.

8⭐ An outstanding episode I really enjoyed — loved it! 🎉👏

About 20 years ago, Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969) was remastered, and the results were excellent. The original musical score was also re-recorded, with great care taken to match the sound and feel of the 1960s recordings in every detail.

Here's a short video showing how the original Star Trek music was recreated:

I recall enjoying a crystal-clear view of the Hale-Bopp comet in 1997. I watched it from a remote, dark location with no light pollution. The odd way it seemed to hang motionless in the dark night sky, with its long tail stretching behind it, was eerie. In addition to the darkness, it was very quiet in my remote viewing spot, which added to the experience. Although my view was very clear, the comet was slightly fainter and not quite as bright as the image shown below, but the sky was much darker. Good memories! ☄️😃

The very lovely and talented actress Pamela Winslow appeared in several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation from 1991 to 1993 as Ensign McKnight. She was a favorite among fans who hoped to see her in more episodes. She was hard to miss and hard to forget. Unfortunately, the show's writers never saw fit to give her a first name.

I'm sure no one can forget the very talented, charming, and adorable Linda Purl, who played Ashley Pfister on Happy Days in 1982 and 1983. Interestingly, she appeared on the show years earlier, in 1974, playing another character named Gloria.
