the border fence has been built there.  Originally, it looked like US citizens

would be allowed to cross just to visit the museum, but that doesn't appear to

be the case now.

They talked about why Biden's speech was so late, but they didn't really have an answer

First half was recorded on "Big Brother" recording.

The show is available on Xfinity Stream app.  It will NOT let me fast forward to the

place where TiVo left off.  I understand that wouldn't want me to fast forward through

the ads, but I don't understand why it isn't let me fast forward during the show.

I could only find one review of this episode and the guy loved it, but I thought it was

totally ridiculous.  Well, it is a comedy, so I suppose we're supposed to find the

ridiculousness funny.  But I don't know if that's what the writers actually think.

~~  For example, Carrie has a totally useless BF, Kash, and she's been encouraging him to get

a job.  She gets to work and finds out that her boss has hired Kash to be Carrie's

assistant.  We didn't see a hiring process.  Are we supposed to assume that Kash walked

into her firm and said, "My GF works here and I'd like you to hire me to be her

assistant."  Even if things worked that way, wouldn't the boss have asked about his

qualification, because Kash seems to have none.  He wasn't even able to successfully make

5 copies of a single-page document.  But this is just a couple things in a long list of

things that make no sense at all.

so I'm going to put this on hold.

I thought I got a spider bite and then another and another.  Then on the NextDoor app,

somone posted something from the U of MD Extension that is blaming Oak Leaf Itch Mites

and attributes the increased number of them to their feeding on Periodical Cicada eggs.

~~  If this is what's causing my problem, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot I can do

about them until they go away in a month.  I don't know if I'll have any skin left by then.

-- 11:25a  Leaving to bike, then get lunch @The Desi Accent: Indian buffet

When I left the house, I wasn't sure where I was going but then I remembered that

McAllister's Deli had opened.  I went there and parking was tight.  They have a huge menu

and I hadn't picked out anything from looking on the web.  I asked for and got a paper menu but

decided to leave.

~~  Then I went to Jimmy's Dog House and it seemed to be closed -- there were orange cones.

So, Taco Bell was just down the street and I went to the ordering kiosk, but the 

prices seemed ridiculous for what you get, so I left, and I started heading to

Skippy's Gyros, which is also overpriced, but before I got there, I remembered that

the Desi Accent has a lunch buffet on weekends.  It was even more expensive, but I haven't

been there in 4 years.

~~  Although I don't think there was anything missing from the buffet, it seemed a bit limited,

so when I got up for a 2nd plate, I got exactly the same things -- almost everything -- not

including the cheese item.  In addition to the  high price, I found that they added a

3% surcharge for credit cards.  So, I'm not likely to go back there anytime soon.
