The ride successfully precipitated the package that I was waiting for to be delivers.
When I got inside, I went into washroom to look at my back in mirror and saw no cicadas
but when I got up to my den I felt something on the back of my neck and swated it and
heard it scream.  I'm not hearing it but I have no idea where it is.

-- 11:05p  After unpacking new Galaxy Watch6 smartphone, started charging it.
It didn't come with a power brick, and unlike my old watch it has a USB-C plug.  
I had been charging my old watch my using the USB-A jack on my laptop and I discovered that
my laptop has a USB-C jack.  So, the new watch was already charged to 85%.

~~  The power button has switched places.  Not that big of a deal but I'm sure that I'm going
to be pushing the wrong button a lot!  The old position seemed more natural.

-- 11:44p  It's fully charged and I turned it on.  It displays the name of the watch but
doesn't automatically do anything else -- like show the time.  The instruction don't seem
to address the issue.  There is a double >> on the face and touching it went into a setup mode but
it doesn't seem to do anything except allow a language to be selected, although it has a
Help button and touching that says I need the app on my phone, but I think it's the same app
as the old watch. and going to that app didn't seem to do anything.

~~  So, I suspected I needed to link it with bluetooth and that seems to have gottne
things to progres.  Then I agreed to everything without knowing if I might want to
decline certain permissions.

~~  The watchband seemed a bit odd but I compared it to the old watch and it's designed the
same way but the proportions are different.  I wonder if it's too big for my wrist.

~~  The setup quickly went to 90% and it seemms to have gotten stuck there.
It's impossible to tell if anything is happening.  I didn't check the time but it finally
changed to a screen that says "Pick Your device" and it's only showing the old watch.
The new watch now says "Connection failed. Try again." with an "OK" button.

~~  There are some very confusing instruction displayed on the phone.  One instructions
says to go to setting on the watch but there is no explanation of how to do that.
There is also something that implies that the watch band is a separate device.

~~  On the phone, when I closed the page with those messages, it had a button for
"scan again" and now it shows both watches.

~~  This time is was progressing steadily to 88% and it seems to be stuck again.

~~  A search online says that lots of people have similar problems.  
I reinstalled the app on my phone and turned bluetooth off and on, but it seems to
be stuck at 90% again.  This is SO stupid!!!!  I don't know why the setup doesn't
have any diagnostics!!!!

~~  I clicked the "contact us" and in the middle of that it said it detected a new
device, so I told it to go ahead and this time it's connecting to Google account.
