--   8:00p - 8:06p  Carla called

My phone has been ringing funny.  There are 2 short rings and then nothing.

I've been assuming it's been caused by robo-callers who are making a call and hanging up quickly

and doing it twice, but this time I decided to pick up and Carla was there.

--   8:08p  I called my landline from my cellphone and it had the 2 short rings, but as the caller

I heard it continue to ring even though the phone wasn't ringing, and my phone answering machine

did NOT pick up.  So, something is wrong.

--   8:26p  I called my cell from my landline and it didn't ring -- it went to voicemail.

I disconnected my phone answering machine but I was still getting 2 short rings.

--   8:44p  I reconnected phone answering machine and disconnected my den phone and

I could hear the phone in kitchen ringing normally and then the answering machine recorded a message,

so, it seems there is something wrong with my den phone.

--   8:53p  I plugged the den phone in again and everything seems to be working right.

Also went to pickup Rx's and 3 other items.

Then I went to Jewel.  The first item was the wrong size but I bought it anyway.  

I forgot to look for the 2nd item, and the 3rd item was the wrong size.

So, out of 2 stores, I only got 1 of the 3 items and it was not the size I wanted.

a bridge or tunnel.  The nearest bridge doesn't allow bikes or pedestrians.

They were going to power wash our curbs today but needed access to our water spigots.

We got e-mail from management company that it's been canceled because 

too many homeowners were refusing to grant access.  I don't know how many of 

the objection is due to people thinking it's an unnecessary expense, or how many people 

didn't want to pay for the water since the rate about doubled last year.

I found only one recap that seemed halfway decent, in that it had more details than the

very sketchy ones that were only meant to promote the episode, not actually recap it.

But the problem with the one I found is that the recapper doesn't know the names of the characters.

I wanted to post a comment, but it requires a login and I didn't want to sign up.

Did they mix up the names on purpose with the hope that people would sign up in order to

post comments about that?  If so, it doesn't seems to have worked because no one else

has posted any comment.

First, talked to neighbor who had gone to Indy Motor Speedway.  He didn't get home until 1 am.

I've had trouble with wifi at Arby's, and when I tried to use it today it behaved

similarly to a suspicious login I tried in Peru, IN.  I have to worder if my phone is infected.

I would have asked the manager at Arby's but I suspected that he wouldn't know enough about it.

Mon

--   2:45a  Up

--   3:40a  Leaving for breakfast in Plymouth, IN.

=== Eastern Daylight Time

--   6:42a  Arrived @Love's Travel Stop in Plymouth just in time

but they didn't have free wifi unless you signed up and I didn't want to do that.

--   7:00a  Arrived for breakfast @Christo's Family Restaurant:  egg / veggie skillet

They did have free wifi.

--   7:45a  Heading south to Kokomo

Checked weather forecast.

-- 11:03a  Arrived at McDonald's in Anderson

-- 12:00p  Arrived at KFC in New Castle but I plan to eat lunch at the Park Restaurant just South but I don't know if they have Wi-Fi there

--   1:00p  Leaving after lunch @Park Restaurant: grilled whitefish,

I would have had sloppy joes but I didn't notice the whiteboard with specials until later.

It's sunny with high thin clouds I hope they'll burn off more although it's probably not necessary as long as it doesn't get additionally cloudy.

~~  Drove to a spot that's right on the path of totality.  Outdated Xfinity hotspot map said there would also be a hot spot but it didn't.

--   2:10p  Eclipse started 15 mins ago and I took first look.

--   2:40p  Arrived to view eclipse on Nora Dr & Klipsch Dr in New Castle

which was right on the path of totality.  There was a family from Door County, WI, that had

picked the same corner!

--   3:07p - 3:11p  Totality

--   3:39p  Started heading back north towards Kokomo

I didn't have a specific place in Kokomo in mind so when I was approaching US-31, I looked at the overpass

and traffic was moving, so I decided to head to South Bend without stopping to reprogram GPS.

A minute after getting on US-31 it turned into a parking lot that lasted 20 mi or more

but I managed to get off at Peru and stopped at Taco John.

~~  Why did the traffic just happen to be moving well on that overpass???

I should have gotten off at the next exit and turned around!!!

--   6:37p  Stopped in Logansport for gas, and reprogrammed GPS.

I was looking for a local restaurant to eat, but I didn't notice any.

A lot of restaurants are closed on Mondays.

One of Junior's clients is a motivational speaker who has taken a vow of silence.

It seems that he posts videos, so the words can be displayed on the screen!

--   1:35p  Dinner @home: soup (Chunky split pea & ham)

--   1:59p - 2:08p  EJB answered the phone.

Social worker came since the last time I talked to him but he didn't give him any lessons

on using the phone, so he still doesn't know how to pickup messages.

He said he's busy but it actually took a while before the nurse arrived.

~~  He is much less happy with the place then he was a week or so ago.

The current problem is that a lot of his lunch fell on the floor because, he says,

the table can't be brought closer to him.  I didn't get into all the details, but

he's sitting in a wheelchair and I'm assuming that the table has a bar near the

floor that is hitting the wheels of the wheelchair.

Former homicide detective in Vancouver, diagnosed as blind, teams up with a remote seeing-eye guide

"The Equalizer" used a hacker who was hiding from authorities so he had to stay home.

~~  2nd show today where a cop said that exercise first thing in the morning helps clear her head.

After reaching the payment page on the app, I pressed [pay] and it just ignored me without

an error message.  The manager was able to get it to work by scanning my card.  I had tried to

do that earlier, but I didn't understand that I had to use the front camera.  It still doesn't

explain why it wouldn't except that data I manually entered.

~~  After all of that, the sandwich had cheese on it.  I don't know if that was an error on

the app or if the kitchen just wasn't paying attention.  The receipt didn't show the edit.

Luckily, it's a cold sandwich, so I was able to just remove the cheese myself.

~~  Customers with the app are entitled to a free sandwich each week during April.

I saw the guy had just finished filling 2 trays with what I wanted so I asked him for those but

he doesn't speak English so it was difficult to get the message across and I'm not sure what he

was saying to me.  He seemed to ask, "Deluxe?" but I don't know what that meant to him.

First, they didn't have any diet pop in the machine in the dining room.  They were able

to give it to me from behind the counter, but, they should have given me a full size cup

instead of the tiny senior cup.  And then, instead of the double burger they gave me a

single.  (At least they got the no-cheese part right).  They were going to let me keep the

single and give me a whole double, but I let them off the hook and said they could just

give me the 2nd patty.

He did hear the phone ringing last evening but it was away from the bed because it

was charging.  He doesn't believe that there is an outlet near the bed.

~~  I gave him a lesson on how to turn the phone off and on even though I'm afraid

that he might leave it off.

~~  Even though he has nothing to do in the evening, he's not watching TV, except 

for the news.  He implied that not having glasses has something to do with it.

There were funnel clouds sighted about 40 mi south but they weren't heading in this direction.

There is currently snow in Rockford but it's probably headed to Wisconsin.

~~  It's SO hard to keep track of eclipse weather.  Initially, they were saying that

Texas was the most likely chance for good weather (although I had no plans to go there)

and now they're saying the opposite.

~~  I just discovered that the Indiana lottery only picks ONE superball each day but

the news displays it twice -- once at the end of the Daily-3 and Daily-4.  So it has

NOT been a coincidence that they've been the same for many days -- they're always the

same because it's just the one ball repeated -- because you can apply it to either game!

--   7:03p  Tried to call EJB on his cellphone but he didn't pickup.

I left a message, but I doubt that he he knows how to listen to messages.

It might display that I had called but it would only show the number.
