    Apple TV+ Criminal Record (2024)

    https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/204490-criminal-record?language=en-US I'm loving this series! Well, apart from the fact that I need to turn on subtitles because I struggle at times with the "King's English". :rolling-smiley: Anyone else watching? Mark

    It never rains in San Diego....

    Yesterday was a really interesting day! You may have seen mention on the National news regarding the atmospheric river that hit SoCal yesterday? Well, it hit San Diego County especially hard. And, within the County, there was a 10 or so mile tall swath that got hit harder than the rest of the...

    Blue Bloods & Finnerty's Single Malt Scotch

    I'm a fan of the TV show 'Blue Bloods'. I've watched every episode at least twice, some of them 3-4 times. A friend who is an even bigger fan of the show is also strongly interested in the props used on the show. Such as the fictitious "Finnerty's" brand of Single Malt Scotch that is...

    Channel Master DVR+ - Alternate EPG

    A centerpiece of my "cut the cord" project is a Channel Master CM-7500 DVR+ over-the-air recorder. When I purchased the DVR+, Channel Master was offering a "lifetime" electronic program guide (EPG) for no additional charge. Little did I know that "lifetime" meant something completely different...

    Record heat and wildfires

    We are having record heat (for this time of year) in SoCal. It was 111º at our house yesterday with 16% humidity. Perfect wildfire weather and, sure enough, several new fires started yesterday, including one (the Valley Fire) about 20 miles from our house. Yesterday we had a mild Santa Ana...

    I absolutely DESPISE the United Parcel Service!

    I've voiced my dislike for United Parcel Service in this forum before. I avoid using UPS as much as I can. Their drivers are too stupid to read a sign posted on the front door that has written on it in large block letters in black felt pen "UPS DRIVER..." Packages get left in plain view...

    Verizon Wireless & Interference from carrier in Mexico

    When I got the very first iPhone model in 2007 I switched to AT&T for wireless (because I had to if I wanted an iPhone). I was generally happy with AT&T's coverage here in San Diego but, after I retired and we began traveling the country, I quickly discovered that AT&T had less than desirable...

    Halloween Decorations

    Since retiring in 2009 I've gone pretty overboard with Halloween decorations. Our collection of decorations grew pretty rapidly from 2009 until 2014. I felt this urge to outdo the previous year. Well, that ended in 2015, which was the first year that I didn't add anything new to the...

    Gifted

    It's predictable and manipulative, yet 'Gifted' is a wonderful film. I loved every minute of it. The Booth Bijou gives 'Gifted' 4.5 out of 5 stars. It will definitely be coming to the Booth Bijou Garage Theater in 3-4 months. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gifted_2017 Trailer: Review...
