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

using the webcam now -- but I don't know if that assumption is valid.

Later, rechecked and it's up to 3 GHz.

I was able to open my garage door, but it wouldn't close.  I assumed it was because
snow had fallen it the path, but it wouldn't even start to close (except a couple inches).
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.

~~  I had asked for it to stay, but he gave it to me in a to-go box.  And it's supposed
to have 2 sides, but he only gave me one.

--   5:55p  Inside;  First, I talked to a neighbor who was shoveling and told her  about the garage door.   I then discovered that I could get the garage door to work if I held down the button inside. It doesn't work that way from the remote.

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.

Installed Stylish, but it's not working.

My laptop was showing MS Store using 35% of CPU and the Firefox was using 100% of disk.
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.
-- 10:30p  I thought I had setup more things on this laptop but I'm not finding things.
-- 10:45p  The old laptop finally displayed the login screen and I was able to login but it seems very sluggish.  The task manager came up and it's displaying percentages but no specific tasks.
-- 11:11p  It seems like maybe the C: drive is blown but the D: drive is OK.  I can't open File Explorer but I was able to open Google Chrome and access D: drive.
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.

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!
