Car lurched ahead in drive-thru and, luckily, I didn't hit the car in front of me.

>>>   2:35p  "Fantasy Island" (08/10/21)  (Metacritic: 62, (50-75)-90, #8)

New version of the show that first ran in 1978.  The resort is now run by a woman who

is a descendant of Mr Roarke.  There is no Tattoo who says "Ze plane", but we get to 

see how this Roarke gets an assistant and the preview for the next episode seems to

show her saying it playfully.  And, while her name isn't Tattoo, she got a tattoo.

~~  I'm not sure what it should take for me to watch this show, since I saw it years

ago, however, each episode sort of stands on its own, and that has two sides.  It

means it won't mean much if I miss an episode -- which I have already done -- since,

for unknown reasons, my TiVo failed to record the 2nd ep.  I'm assuming I can watch it

online, and I probably will, in part because one review implied the 2nd ep is stronger.

was also biking.  Discovered that my front derailleur is messed up. The cable seems twisted with another cable  in a way that I can't see how it would happen by accident.  I would have to turn the bike

upside-down to examine it further and I'm not going to do that.

Sun 

--   1:00a  All I wanted was to sleep in my own bed but I

woke and left bed to use washroom for 2nd time and realized that

the bed is a trap that is almost impossible to get out of.

Went to sleep in recliner.

--   4:00a  Woke and read clock wrong.  I thought I had managed to sleep through the

rest of the night in recliner, but it was still dark out.  Getting out of recliner is

easier than getting out of bed but still difficult.

~~  I went downstairs and brought cushions from living room chair to put onto recliner.

--   8:20a  Up;  At least I managed to sleep.  I'm still very sore and getting out of

this enhanced recliner is easier, but still difficult.  I don't know if I can continue

like this until I heal -- or even *IF* I will ever completely heal.

>>> 10:25a  "Love Life"  (Metacritic: 54, 25-80, #22, Viewers: 4.9)

Now free on TBS (assuming you already have basic cable), but it was originally on

HBO Max on 5/27/20.   Darby (Anna Kendrick) searches for love in NYC.

Harshest critic said "the characters in this show are insufferable."

~~  Her BFF is smoking 3 mins into show

~~  So, this is the second show that I recorded last night that used the term "flatmates".

I can't remember the last time I've heard the term.  The show last night was British,

but this show takes place in NYC, but the narrator is British.

~~  The show is so-so, but I suppose I'll keep watching.  It's already been renewed,

although I'll probably not have the opportunity to watch the 2nd season.

There were three 2nd or 3rd graders in next subdivision trying to put up a 

"Car Wash" sign on a lamp post but the paper would tend to curl up.  I suggested

that they take another sheet of paper and roll it up to make it stiff, but that

went over their heads.  I then noticed that it was garbage day and someone had a

box that would be perfect support for the sign.

~~  The sign promoted 3 "mods" (modes) of service available: Easy, medium, and extreme.

They're modeling it after the car wash their parents go to, but I'm not sure what

the would do differently.

-- 11:40a  Inside after biking 2 mi; "The View"

I passed the kids again, and, while I was home, I rolled up a sheet of paper and

showed them how it was stiff, but they still didn't get it.  Of course, now that

they had the box, my suggestion was unneeded.  And then I passed the corner again

and they were gone.

On the bike ride, I heard rushing water and caught a glimpse of a man-made waterfall

just east of Harlem.  For some unknown reason, they don't seem to want to trim the folliage

so that it can be easily seen from the bike trail.  

~~  I have now looked it up and it is the Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration (SEPA) Station #4

of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.  Water is pulled from the

canal and then returned to it.  It's been there since the early '90s, so it's been there

every time I've bike the Cal-Sag Trail, and I've never noticed it before today.
