They mentioned "Winter Storm Eboni".  This is the first time I'm aware of a winter storm
having a name.  A search revealed that The Weather Channel has been naming such storms since 2012.  It's controversial because The Weather Channel isn't the government so the names aren't official, and others argue the criteria they use in arbitrary.

>>> 11:38p  "Doubt" (02/15/2017)  (Metacritic: 58, 30-80, #25)
One critic said, "The show is competent for what it is."  Everyone seems to like the cast.
But we know it was pulled from the schedule after 2 episodes and the remaining half-season played out in the summer.
~~  It's a fairly typical legal drama.  The lead is a defense lawyer.
I will probably finish watching it.

>>>   6:13p  "Slap, The"  (02/12/2015)
8-part miniseries based on Australian series which was based on a novel of the same name.
  • Each episode tells the story of the aftermath of a birthday party from the perspective of a different character.
  • An unmanageable kid was swinging a bat around in backyard and the host's cousin slapped the kid.  The kid's parents are horrified.
  • I'm not sure if I should care.  The man shouldn't have hit the kid, but it seems like the incident wasn't really that serious, so I'm not sure if I should care what everyone's perspective is.

>>> "Nightflyers"  (Metacritic: 47, 20-(40-60), #14)
  • Eight scientists and a telepath traveling on The Nightflyer space ship to make contact with alien life begin experiences strange and violent occurrences in this adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novella (which also was made into a 1987 film).
  • A harsh critic said it's, "A tediously generic haunted-house-in-space odyssey."
    A more favorable critic said it's "Decently cast, interestingly claustrophobic",  I don't think I  like claustrophobic.  And he also said, "What starts intriguingly turns sillier the deeper you go." Another said, "There’s a sense all of this has been done before," but added that it  "remains enjoyable to watch despite these weaknesses."
  • After the 1st min, I decided to put this on hold.

I got a warning that Host Process for Windows wants to use webcam.  I don't think it's
a problem but I hate being asked to approves something like that without guidance.
I'm under the impression that if that process can't access webcam then the webcam
could be unusable.  Since I don't see the LED on, I'm assuming that it is not actually
using the webcam now -- but I don't know if that assumption is valid.

I closed it manually and then tried to get the chain to go back down and reengage but it
still wouldn't go more than a little bit.
~~  At the KFC, I had a coupon and the guy said which meal I wanted and I said #10.
He said the coupon was only good for specific meals.  Not that one.  So I asked which
ones and he described it as strips, or pieces, or nuggets.  I said the #10 is the 3 pieces.
I told him to look at the menu.  He acted like I was trying to trick him to turn around
and he said, "I know the menu."  I said, "Apparently not.

The reporter said those were birds.  Later, he says those were chickens.
The first time, I didn't see any birds.  The 3rd time -- when they told the whole story,
they referred to them as "fresh chickens".  So, I assume that means dead and refrigerated.

There was a message from Cigna about a grievance, which takes about 30 days to
respond to, so I don't even remember what it was about.  I called the number they
gave which included an extension, but there was no opportunity to dial the extension
which implies they gave me the wrong main number, and the person I reached didn't
know what number I should call.  So, now there are 2 more grievances.  That would
be the 4th since I joined.
-- 10:47a  So, finally off the phone with them, so, basically wasted the whole morning.

I smelled something strange and then I heard a bug fly by, but it disappeared.
I waited quite a while for it to reappear and I thought I saw it crawling on the wall
but it disappeared again.  I sprayed in that area and waited, and, eventually I
clearly saw it crawling but it kept going behind things.  I think I sprayed it
enough to kill it.

I shut down Firefox and the MS Store was using 100% of CPU.
I decided to reboot again.  It took a very long time to shut down.
When I rebooted it wouldn't bring up the login screen.  I don't know if it's doing anything.
I can turn the caps lock on and off, which means it isn't totally dead, but it seems that it
might as well be.
~~  I typing this on my backup (Dell) laptop which is not fully setup.  I am only partially backed-up.

I'm remembering how much I hate the keyboard arrangement on the Dell PC.  The position relative to the screen causes me to constantly put my fingers on the wrong keys.  And the function keys are different.

--   1:00a  Going for a drive
Took IL-83 south to I-55, then east to Harlem, north to I-290, west to US-45, and then north.
--   2:05a  Arrived for breakfast @Denny's n Franklin Park: eggs, bacon & sausage
I was looking for a dive diner but didn't find one.  It's 12 mi away but
the route I took was 35 mi there.  (I went the direct route home, 47 total.)
Tab: "Superstore"
--   2:55a  Home;
The place I was looking for actually had been across the street from the Denny's,
but, apparently, it's out of business.  I was last there in 2013.
It seems that it closed in 2014 after the owner died and the kids
didn't know how to run it properly.  At the time I wrote that it
wasn't worth the drive there.  But if I was going to go to Denny's,
there one much closer to my house.
~~  It seems that Johnnie's reopened on Lake St, just west of Mannheim,
so I was just a couple blocks away!

--   9:45a  "Modern Family";  Breakfast @home: PB&T

This is the final season of the show and they've been saying a major character is going to die.  Well, it happened on this episode, but it wasn't the character they've been talking about.

I like to find and follow recaps as I'm watching, so, even though the article said it contains spoilers, I want the reveal to be in the order in which the plot gets to that point.  But this one had it right at the top.

But, it turned out that it was revealed on the show in the first minute, so, I guess that's OK.
