As I was leaving, I saw a neighbor, Jim, biking, and I asked if he wanted to ride part of the way
with me and he agreed.  But he missed a turn and when he tried to turn too sharply he skidded and fell.
He was able to get up very quickly by himself.  He headed home and I continued to Pete's.

I noticed that the theme music for the CBS Evening news changed.  I think the one that they had 
been using was started in 2016, but I can't find any articles mentioning the recent change.
However, the 2016 version was my favorite of the 3 major networks and I do NOT like the new one.
I believe the "new" theme is based on an older theme.

Very disappointing. I keep forgetting that restaurants that sell meatballs have only microscopic amounts of meat in their meat sauce.
The last time I was there was 10 years ago.  They charge $3.25 for a small pop (although refillable).
I would have eaten at the Chinese place in the same strip mall but they didn't have outdoor seating.
I was able to find an Xfinity signal but it wouldn't connect, and the
restaurant's wifi said it was connected but browser disagreed.

>>> 10:37a  "Leonardo"  (08/16/22)  (Metacritic: 47, (20-60)-80, #8)
Originally shown in Italy.  It's about Leonardo da Vinci, but it's not a
documentary and who knows how many of the things portrayed are made up.
It's unclear if I should even bother watching the 1st episode.
~~  There are 2 actors names Tommaso and one character with that name.
~~  At the start, he's arrested for poisoning a woman he met 16 years earlier.
I didn't know anything about that, but does this apparent fact matter?  And it
seems that it is NOT a known fact.  Evidence about the woman is extremely slim
and Leonardo was never arrested for murder.
~~  I suppose I'll keep watching.

I accepted an offer for a 29c cheeseburger when you buy one at full price.
It said it expired 9/4/22 so it wasn't available.  I showed the message to the guy behind the counter
and he said he doesn't use the app.  If I can't give him an order number, then there is nothing he can do.
But the app doesn't provide the number unless the details are accepted.  

~~  I saw that his badge said he was the manager, so I said he should be able to do something.
He insisted that he couldn't, so I said, "Then, you're NOT the manager."  He insisted that he was
and I repeated that then he should be able to do something.  We went around in a circle but then
he went to get the "big" manager.

~~  The big manager opened up the app on his own phone and saw that the offer was valid.
He rang up the order, giving me one the burgers for free.  So, while I didn't get points,
I paid for a double burger rather than a douoble cheeseburger, and the Coke.
~~  The question is: Did the first manager learn anything at all?

All along, the captions called her "Erica", although web pages called her "Erika".
But on this episode, the captions used the "k".

>>>   1:02p  "Portlandia" (01/21/2011)  (Metacritic: 71, 30-100, #10)
It's lasted for 79 episodes but I'm not sure if it's worth the bother.  
Harshest critic said it seems to be, "a collection of the most uninspired sketches from "SNL's" final half-hour."
~~  So, there's no plot, so I don't see the point of watching.

>>>   1:44p  "Cry, The" (10/23/19)
Nominated for an International Emmy for Best Actress.  Jenna Coleman mesmerizes as a young mother in this intense psychological thriller.
~~  It's basically a 2-part movie.
~~  After glancing at reviews while looking at the first 3 mins, I decided to skip this.  I only picked it because it was the first candidate that came up on the scrollable menu.

>>>   2:04p  "Returned, The"   (10/31/13)
Adapted from a French television series, "Les Revenants", that was
adapted from a 2004 movie titled "They Came Back".
~~  Although this was listed with an English title, it seems to be the French version -- 
so it has subtitles -- and I don't want to bother reading.

>>>   2:30p  Finding Joy  (10/10/18)
Sitcom staring Irish actress who created the show.
Joy is a copy editor who is pushed to fill in for a vlogger who is hiding out due to a plastic surgery mishap.
~~  I think this is the 3rd show today that used the word "sorted".
~~  It's just OK, but I guess I'll watch it until the free AMC+ runs out tomorrow.

>>>   7:30p  "Kevin Can F Himself"  (06/13/21)  (Metacritic: 65, 40-89, #26)
Another free AMC+ show.  One summary described it as, "A look at the secret life of a sitcom wife."
One critic said it's "Everybody Love Raymond" without the wife giving as good as she gets.
Most positive review said it's, "ambitious and experimental, and it’s far more than satire."
Kevin's portrayal is described as "an outstanding living cartoon of a man, but has no redeeming qualities. "
~~  I'm not sure if I could have watched this on AMC at some point.
~~  The experiment is that we watch a typical sitcom scene and then the wife goes into 
another room and it becomes a drama where we see her real feelings.
~~  The wife bumps into old classmate and his wife is Jenn.

>>>   9:15p  "Moonhaven"
I found out that I have a free week of AMC+ on Xfinity Stream app and the ads I've 
seen for this show have caught my interest.
~~  The Earth was dying and people have been sent to the moon with an artificial intelligence
to establish a utopian community set on a 500 square mile Garden of Eden to figure out a solution. 
After 3 generations, they seem to have come up with something, but then a murder occurs.
~~  After watching the first 15 mins, I'm disappointed.  There is a lot of ponderous dialog.
But one reviewer said, "its ideas are interesting enough to make it worth the watch -- you’ll 
just have to get past some dreadfeel dialogue filled with shadow and cringe, and discover
the Truelune within yourself."
Another said, "It’s disappointing to see a project like Moonhaven, one rife with potential and bursting with compelling ideas, culminating in a boring, disjointed, and ideologically unsound series."

First went to BK to get free double cheeseburger (on app with $1 purchase).
I clicked on "customize".  It would let me double the cheese (for 50c) but it would
NOT allow me to select NO cheese.  (Why would ANYONE order a cheesburger and then try
to remove the cheese?  Well, because the cheeseburger was free.)

  So, then I had to wait a long time at the counter to explain that to the
clerk. There was only 1 family ahead of me, but it seemed like they
ordered $5000 worth of food. (But the real backlog was at the drive-up window.)

When I got to McD to get the free fries (with a Coke), the app said that I can only get
one deal a day, so I had to wait 8 mins.  I had NOT taken a deal recently and this is NOT
the first time that the app was wrong about that.

--   5:34p  Inside after biking 4+2. Dinner @home double cheeseburger without cheese and fries. 
Already ate onion rings in car

--   5:45p  Finished eating the double hamburger. But the free fries all wound up on the floor
when I stood up to put the burger in the microwave since it had been at least a half-hour
since I picked it up.

If I ever go there again, it should be on Thursday when the burritos are on a special with a soft drink.
I was sitting on their patio and halfway through, a big wasp took interest in my soda cup, so
I went inside.  Luckily, it wasn't crowded.

(or it finds such a long list because it finds any title with "Maggie" in it.)
It seems that most of the episodes are missing.
