Navytimes ran a article about the closing of some base theaters.  Due to extensive budget reviews several military base theaters will be discontinued.  The reason I gathered from reading is a matter of cost relating to the expense of upgrading some outdated facilities.  On base theaters are competing with a demand for Imax ready cinemas that have become popular off base.  Fortunately the Navy decided to compensate by upgrading.

Again, what's your version of this place in time?

Observing the landscape
The day has nearly come to an end.
One bird was spotted climbing limbs on a tree in a upward-diagonal-back-and-forth manner.
Of the two rose bushes in the yard, one is in bloom.
Some tree branches still have their leaves while other branches are completely bare.  
Peanuts have been placed outside at the fence.
