+Uses watch to print a stream of Pod events from the default namespace.
+The allow_watch_bookmarks flag is set to True, so the API server can send
+BOOKMARK events.
+
+If the connection to the API server is lost, the script will reconnect and 
+resume watching from the most recently received resource version.
