I got confirmation of the triple points, and then I got email that said a free drink or side

has been added to my rewards, but it can only be redeemed with an entree.  The original email

said the reward would be added, so it did accept the soup as an order that precipitated the

addition of the reward -- although redeeming that now clearly says with an entree -- and

their entrees are overpriced.

Today was the day they were scheduled to come out to fix it, but they guy had

already been here on Friday.  My phone answering machine picked up on several

calls today, so I don't know it's being so flaky.  I was able to call my cell with it.

Nancy drove and we first stopped off to pickup the phone charger that Carla left at surgery center. 

--   8:50a  Arrive at doctor's office.

The doctor is pleased with the condition of my eye.  He said I could drive.

I should wait a few days to bike and keep it easy, but I can use exercise bike inside.

He said I only need to use 3 drops a day although 4 might help it heal faster.

-- 11:27a  Finished call with AT&T and they'll send someone out next week.

I got a text from them with the ticket number but it also had a link to try to

resolve the problem myself, but the link just went around in circles.

-- 11:47a  Skim Ch2 news

-- 12:52p  Got text from AT&T that tech is on the way.

I went outside to wait and talked to neighbor.

--   1:17p  Tech arrived

He check the neighborhood canister and got a dial tone.

Went inside and it seems to be working.  Although he didn't find a specific problem

it seems that something must have gotten jostled in the wire canister outside.

--   1:40p  Tech finished

--   2:10p  Leaving to bring bike to shop for tune-up but mostly for shifting problems.

Neighbor helped me put it in the car and bike shop took it out.

Google Timeline failed to see that I made stop at bike shop. It frequently makes such mistakes.

--   2:46p  Arrived for dinner @Arby's: reuben

They has a BOGO and I brought the 2nd one home.

--   3:15p  Home;  The AT&T guy is still parked outside my house.

I picked up the kitchen phone and there was static.  I called and got a busy signal.

I disconnected that phone and the next call went to my answering machine.

So, it seems that maybe the kitchen phone has a problem, however it worked earlier.

I told the tech and he called and got my answering machine, so he's blaming the

kitchen phone, but there still might have been something wrong in the canister outside.

Is a puzzlement!

none of the phones (or the answering machine) are causing the problem.

--   2:42p  Carla called just as I was about to put in the 3rd (and final) eyedrop of round 1.

She seems to have left her phone charger at the surgery center.

>>>  11:30a  "Somebody Somewhere" (01/16/22) on Max (free on Xfinity stream this week) (Metacritic: 86, 70-100, #24)

A middle-aged woman living back in her hometown in rural Manhattan, Kansas (a real place), after a period of caring for her ailing sister (newly deceased), reconnects with her past and meets a friend.

~~  I've never heard of it, but the reviews are all good.

One review said it's "A superb and instantly engrossing work, with Everett delivering a knockout performance".

Another said it's, "a mostly low-key delight that occasionally spills over into sheer exuberance."

~~  I said that I never heard of it, but as soon as I started watching, I think I recognize the 2 stars, 

not as actors that I've known, but I think I saw them on talk shows last week, probably promoting

the 3rd season, but I didn't may much attention because it was on a network that I don't normally get.

~~  Although there are exterior shots in Kansas, the show is filmed in the Chicago area.

~~  Although fictional there are some semi-autobiographical element from the star's life.

She is actually from Manhattan, KS.
