at car dealership.  I said he already told me, and he say, "Yeah," and then he keeps going.

And when I repeat that he already told me he says, "Yeah," and he keeps going.  So,

I asked why he's repeating what he just told me and he said it's because he's upset, and

then it leads to him putting his wife on the phone who says that It's rude for me to

say he's repeating himself.  And it led to them saying that I keep repeating myself 

about TV shows and I pointed out that each time it's about a DIFFERENT TV show, and

I should know that they don't care about TV shows, and I said that they are supposed

to listen to be polite and that they are saying that I'M rude, but they won't 

accept that now THEY are being rude to tell me I shouldn't talk about TV shows.

And they want to call Carla to see if she agrees that I'm rude when I talk about

TV shows, but they refuse to understand that THEY talk about a single incident

repeatedly but they think that I'm supposed to listen.  But they are refusing to

accept that they do the same thing.

They have decided to stop showing that graph of total COVID cases over time because,

I would assume, once diagnosed, the total can only rise or level off but never go 

down.  Also, the time period has stretched out since March, so, is the older data

important?  So, they show positivity rate -- which mostly is based on people who

choose to get a test done.  Is it lagging because it takes time to get results?

They don't say,  But, they are now showing "recent average daily cases", and they

show it like on a speedometer that goes from green to yellow to red -- but it 

doesn't show any history.  The heading doesn't make much sense, but a google search

implies it's probably giving the number per 100K, so that makes more sense.

After a mile, Tony calls, as I happened to be approaching his house.  But he

wasn't home.  Then his son pulls in, and then his wife, who was there to pickup

their son to go to dinner, where Tony was waiting.

I casually remarked, "Too pooped to pump?"  And then she said "Hi, Ed."

She's a neighbor, but I didn't recognize her, especially with her sunglasses.

I planned to arrive after 15 miles but my original plan was to go off the trail

permanently, but I think it's just a response to the looting downtown.

>>>   1:17p  "Snowpiercer" (05/17/20)  (Metacritic: 55, 30-83, #24)

When scientists attempted to solve global warming, they wound up creating an ice age.

What's left of humanity has been living on a train with 1001 cars for 7 years.

Based on a 2013 film.  The train was intended for the rich, but it was invaded.

~~  One critic said, "A mess, full of half-developed characters, illogical plot choices and incompletely realized social satire. But it's not awful."

Another said, "It's a clearly inferior version of something that was already great and never needed to be revisited again. "

~~  There are 50 characters listed on the 1st episode.  It starts with the "Tailees", the

people at the end of the train who are considered the lowest class.  Their rations are

cut and they want to start a revolution, but it's unclear why they think they have any power.

What's less clear is what is stopping the train from derailing.

~~  I suppose I'll keep watching it.

I expected to sit at one of the 3 tables outside but they were all taken.

Luckily, they were allowing inside seating.  There was only one other guy inside.

I had ordered via the app, which only provides pop in bottles, but, I saw that there

dispenser was working.  After I finished, I asked if they could supply a cup for a

refill.  They said no, but he said he'd do it this time.  Seems strange -- I had to

pay a premium for the bottle.  When I was leaving, all the outside tables had been

vacated..

I suspect the people repairing the siding did something.  I'm not allowed to complain about 

this because I'm not supposed to have any wires running on the outside,   I hired a guy to  fix

it, but he also wound up fixing my sidewalk and deck, but he only made the outside wiring

neater.

Lane Tech voted to eliminate the Indian mascot.  I don't really care either way but

it seems the consensus among Native Americans is that they didn't appreciate it, and I

had expressed that, because of that, they should probably get rid of it, which they now

have done.  I don't think any kind of mascot or nickname is necessary for a team.

BTW, I never attended a sports event at the school.

Focuses on 3 recruits in an alternative America where witches avoided the witch trials by agreeing to cooperate with the government.

~~  One critic said, "Narrative bagginess swallows all the story’s oxygen and blows it out as stale air: It squanders precious opportunities to develop compelling antagonists—and that lack of complexity is even more unfortunate given that the three leads are so charismatic and well-cast."
Another said, "After six episodes, the tone is still uneven and some of the reveals are hard to follow. Dialogue is occasionally clunky, frequently bordering on ridiculous."
Another said it, "combines too many ideas in order to make one wildly confusing show that, despite its insistence otherwise, struggles to understand what “empowerment” actually means."
~~  It's very confusing.  These aren't the kind of witches I'm used to seeing on TV.
I don't know if these kinds of witches have been portrayed elsewhere.
I'll probably keep watching, although I could skip this show.
