David Lynch: ''Do not demystify.” An interesting Times mag article by Terrence Rafferty on what DVDs are doing to the movies.   * * *   I hear the Kentucky Derby was exciting, but a million or so people in this part of North Carolina didn’t get a chance to see it – the local NBC affiliate cut away to tell us, again and again and again, that the weather outside was frightful. Ridiculous.   * * *   Speaking of horses, we spent much of the weekend at the Sedgefield Horse Show here in Greensboro, watching niece Claire and her pony, Beanie, win a fat fistful of ribbons, a couple of them blue.   * * *   Hiker amputates own arm. Ouch.   * * *   Mo Cheeks was a class act when he was a Sixer, and he’s one now, too, reports Bill Lyon of the Philly Inquirer. “"I don't know why I did it,’ he said. ’It wasn't something I thought about. It's one of those things you just do.’ Except, of course, no one else thought to do it.” 1:25:35 PM
