I just noticed that Win11 doesn't have a big clock.  It used to appear when you
clicked on the clock on the taskbar.  There doesn't seem to be a setting to restore it.
~~  I installed a clock from the Windows Store -- first time I've done so.
Unlike the built-in clock, it takes about 3 seconds to come up.

not see ANY stars to the north.  I could see a few stars to the south and the moon.
If it was warmer, I might have tried driving to a darker spot, but it just didn't
seem to be worth the trouble. Note: I stayed in ALL day, but went out for this.

The show is listed as having 21 episodes.  I watched the first 11.  The final 
2 episodes are NOT on my TiVo, there are no recaps available, and, while the other
episodes are available on Hulu, the last 2 seem to be unavailable, so, I don't
know if it's worth watching this if the final one ends without a proper conclusion.
Meanwhile, I don't remember where we left off, although I'll skim the recap.
~~  I don't remember the names of the 3 main stars, but one of them, Lacey Porter, 
has been  starring in "Big Sky", so I've seen her on 47 episodes in the 
last 3 years and never knew her name.

I had watched the first 22 of 34 episodes but there are only 10 on my TiVo.
The default used to be to keep 10 shows, so it seems that I lost 2.
But, it seems the episodes are available on Freevee, which I've never used before.
There are ads.

--   1:14p  "Harry's Law" (01/18/2012)
This one was on TiVo without an episode title or date.
One of the regular stars is Christopher McDonald but there was a 
guest actor named Christopher who was playing a character named Christopher.
~~ Twin sisters are accused of killing their common husband.  One actress is credited
for playing both twins, however that actress has an actual twin sister, so I think
she was probably playing the part.  The latter was a semi-finalist on "American Idol".
~~ The twins look a lot like one of the defendants in the previous episode.

I don't know why the newscasters can't hear what they're saying.
They said there is a small asteroid approaching Earth and it could be one of the closest 
asteroid encounters but there is no risk of it hitting the planet.  But then the next
sentence says it's set to HIT the southern tip of South American this evening.  And then
they say it will turn into a fireball and disintegrate in the atmosphere and the debris
will most likely becomes small meteorites.

Each episode features a new defendant preparing to hear the verdict before flashbacks tell how they ended up on trial in the Howard Gordon crime drama anthology series based on the British series of the same name.
~~  The episode has an unusual twist -- it seem that will be repeated.  It's hard to tell if it's
worth waiting until the end to find out what it is.  I'll probably watch the next episode on Tuesday
because the TV schedule is still fairly sparce.  There are new shows starting, but 3 shows had
their season finales last week.

I got into an argument with the cashier, then customer service, and then the manager, who finally 
agreed with me.  The difference was only $1 but I showed that they need to change confusing signs.  

~~  They tried to charge me $10.99/lb for my entire meal.  It's normally $9.99/lb but they said
the shrimp ceviche was $10.99/lb.  I only had a little in my container, but they said they had
to charge the higher amount for the entire container.  But I pointed out that the sign above
the ceviche says $9.99 and we went back and I pointed it out.  

~~ The problem is they have little signs BEHIND the trays, but the metal edge of the 
sneeze guard prevents someone who is my height from seeing those signs, and, since
the ceviche was a very small part of my meal, he relented and charged me the lower price.

~~  I've actually been getting away with it for months -- so it was kind of silly for me to
be arguing with them -- but they need to change the signs, and it seems that they will be
doing so.  I'll have to wait until next time to see if they do a good job.  (I betting
that it will be a terrible job.)

I just noticed that Xfinity is providing some free premium TV this week but it seems
that ONLY the first episode of this HBO show is free.  Not sure if it's worth the bother but
at least I'll have some idea what it's about.  I already know that the title refers to
a fictional resort in Hawaii.
~~  I just started watching "Mayfair Witches" which stars Alexandra Daddario, and she is
also on this show.
~~  Yesterday, on the premiere of "Night Court" the ADA is named Olivia.  On this
show, there is also an Olivia.
~~  It was OK, but I wouldn't call it amazing.

It seems that the main theory in the society is that everyone belongs in one of 5 factions
and that maintaining that order will eliminate war and violence -- but that concept doesn't
make much sense.  It takes place in a future Chicago, but it probably doesn't make sense that
certain iconic buildings still exist.

A member of the Philly unit works on cases as she's looking for her son, who has been missing for 6 years..
~~  Generally, I wouldn't bother with this show but the TV schedule isn't ramping up  very quickly after the winter break.
~~  One critic said these cops see more action in a week than most cops see in a lifetime.
Jamie Foxx is one of the executive producers.  The show probably wouldn't have gotten on air without his clout.
~~  The show was even worse than I thought it would be

~~  One reviewer said it's "A slow-burn saga that is heavy on atmosphere and low on easy or immediate answers."
~~  It's not clear if I should even bother with this first episode.
~~  It's not as bad as I expected.  I probably will keep watching it.

>>> 11:17a  "Hatfields & McCoys" (05/28/2012)
6-hr miniseries of the bitter blood feud between the two families on the West Virginia/Kentucky border in the years after the Civil War.
I've been watching "Yellowstone" with Kevin Costner and he also stars in this.
I didn't realize that until I started watching this.  He won Emmy for best lead actor.
~~  In the credits, there are 9 Hatfields and 16 McCoys.
~~  According to this show, the 2 men fought side-by-side in the Confederate army until Hatfield decided that the war is pointless and he went back to his family (who he felt like he had deserted -- so deserting the Army wasn't a big deal).  I guess the problem is that maybe no one knows the truth.
They lived about 6 hrs apart by buggy, but it's portrayed that they encountered each other a lot.

Special Agent Will Trent, who grew up in the foster care system, solves cases for the 
Georgia Bureau of Investigation in this drama series based on Karin Slaughter's book series.
~~  The first character seen is played by Jennifer Morrison.  Her teen daughter was kidnapped.
Her husband grew up in foster care -- in the same group home as Will Trent.
In other words, the first case is incestuous (ie, the cop knows someone involved with the case).
