midnight.  It was so cold and windy yesterday that I stayed in all day.

>>>   2:10p  "Tracker" (02/11/22)  (Metacritic: 64, -81, #11)
Harshest critic said, "It is fun. If a bit hard to swallow."
But a more favorable review said, "While the series has some minor issues, Tracker is addictively entertaining. A charismatic lead, plenty of adventure, hints at unrevealed secrets, and an appealing supporting cast make this yet another satisfying CBS crime drama."

The Level 3 risk area has expanded significantly.

~~ There was a boy who seemed to be having trouble riding his bike, even though he's biked in past years.
They say, "It's like riding a bike," to mean it's something you don't forget but it seems that he has.
I gave him some tips, such as don't try to put your feet on the pedals until you've got enough speed
from just pushing on the street, but he has trouble with that concept.  
~~  I checked if his wheels were spinning freely, and they were.  I raised the seat about an inch.
Maybe he needs it higher, but I didn't want to change it that much.
~~  His younger sister wasn't having any trouble riding her bike.

Also went to Dollar Tree but they had no popcorn, and I also wanted to buy Sensodyne toothpaste
but a huge stocking cart was conveniently blocking most of the toothpaste.  The parking lot wasn't
very full but the store seemed crowded in the aisles but not yet at the cash register.
I grabbed a few snacks and dashed to the single manned cash register. 

~~  There was an old woman ahead of me and it seems that her items had
already been totaled up, but she was attracted to the newspapers that
were past the checkout and she didn't just grab one but asked the clerk
how much they were. She decided against it and whet back to check out,
and he told her the total and then she started searching through her
wallet for the cash.

~~  When I got to my car, it turned out that she was parked right next to me.  I managed to
pull out of the parking spot before she was able to get into her car.  But I was unable to
get the 2 items that were my main reason for going there!

The leftovers were more substantial, but Chipotle had a 1-day special, a discount of their
tortilla chips -- which really isn't worth much -- but I figured I would try the veggie bowl
because it comes with free guac, which I could then eat with the chips.

~~  When I opened the bowl at home, it seemed like they had forgotten the guac, but then I saw
that it was hidden under the lettuce, and it was a substantial amount.  But then I noticed they
forgot to add the mild tomato salsa.  Aside from that, without meat, if felt skimpy -- but 
there was some chicken in the leftover panda bowl.

~~  I needed to eat or dispose of the leftovers tonight, but with having bought the veggie bowl,
I now have NEW leftovers.

This was the series finale and it seems like they rushed it, squeezing too much stuff
into an hour.  Although the show involves time travel, other things differed from reality
in ways that made no sense.  For example, they claimed that doctors didn't use antibiotics
in 1965.  I can't imagine why the writers would make that a plot point.

Windows just moved the icon to a more prominent place on my status bar, so I decided to
fianlly try it.  First, I asked it to analyze a text file by giving the name but not the
location.  It didn't attempt to find it, but gave me instructions on how I could find it.
I know where it is, so that's not useful.  And, it seems that it's not able to look at
the contents of the file, but could only tell me how I could look at it.  I already had it
open and displayed in another window, but it was unaware of that.

~~  Second, I asked if if it could tell me specifically why I got a so-called 
Blue Screen of Death today.  It was only able to tell me possible causes in general terms,
So, it failed that test.

~~  When I asked it to change it's own mode from balanced to precise, it wasn't even able
to change it's own settings and couldn't explain why.  So, it seems totally useless.

wondering aloud if the name of the bit is freaking out the audience.  I don't know if it
was planned, but it didn't seem to be, but they polled the audience and it was
98-83 against.  He said another idea for the name was "Post-it Votes".

I was trying to get Bing Co-Pilot to admit that Trump's statement (about NATO countries
who don't pay their dues) to be objectively crazy because it poses a global security risk,
but, as usual, it refuses to express an "opinion" even though I was trying to stress
that it could be determined objectively.  I tried to get it express a probability of
Trump either doubling-down or, instead, claim he was joking, but it wouldn't do that.
either, because it doesn't follow its inherent task.  However, it did admit that Trump's
opinion on this issue is not commonly held.

I've been seeing Cole Sprouse on "Riverdale" for years, and, recently, he's been on a number of
talk shows promoting "Lisa Frankenstein", where he plays the monster.  I know he and his 
twin brother, Dylan, were on a show together when they were kids, but I sort of assumed 
Dylan had given up acting, but he was on "The View" today promoting "Beautiful Wedding".

It was free with a purchase.  I asked if I could order a double, and they'd take off
the price of a single and the difference in price would be the "purchase".  The clerk
didn't think so.  I probably should have attempted to do it in the app, but I was just
worried that by time I found out it wasn't possible, it would have been too late to 
back out.  Anyway, she asked the manager, but it was busy, so I don't even know if the
manager was paying attention.  But, I also suspect that the clerk phrased the question
incorrectly as: This guy wants a free double.  Anyway, the "purchase" was
value-sized fries.

People are wondering if Taylor Swift will be able to park her private jet at the Superbowl.

I tried to use the TiVo and Hulu apps and they both failed again.
I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to use them out of the house.
After getting home, I realizes there might have been a couple of shows that I could
have watched on Xfinity Stream.

~~  The dining room was almost empty, but a family with 2 kids sat down at the table
right next to mine.  I quickly switched tables.  I don't know if they noticed.

I tried to use TiVo app but it said I need to setup streaming, but that can only be done from home.
I'm sure that I had done it some time ago but I had to reboot modem since, so that problaby canceled
the previous setup.  I don't know why it has to be so fragile.

~~  I tried to watch a show on Xfinity Stream, but the show I picked could only be watched at home.
So, I tried Hulu and that failed for unknow reasons.

~~  I went back to Xfinity Stream and found a show that could be watched away from home.
And then I had trouble untangling my earphone cord.

~~  Once I could watch the show, it got to commercials, and after playing a few, it seemed to have 
trouble getting back to the show so it played more commercials.

Also, tried to get TiVo app on phone setup for streaming away from home but it got stuck in a loop
before bringing up a menu.  So, then I tried Hulu and had the same problem I had at KFC.
So, I turned off the phone's wifi and turned it back on and that fixed the Hulu problem.
I went back to TiVo and the menu came up and I ran the streaming setup and it worked.
So, it appears to be fixed until the next time.  I wish they could figure out a way to make
these reliable.
