Modem Problems!!

Mo 5/28/18- Memorial Day

I awoke at 4am and tried to download today's material to take to Planet Fitness, however I couldn't get online. I checked the modem in the living room and all of the lights on the face of the modem were in the 'On' position; no movement and this was quite unusual. I played around with the phone and turned the modem 'On/Off'; finally things connected, and I checked via the phone that there were no problems with Xfinity in the area. I wonder what caused the problem because it was definitely on my end. Weather?

Staying up; will nap later. Clear and 70 with temps to top out in the mid to upper nineties later- Record breaking weather for the next several days. 

'MOTOWN MAFIA' (Amazon Prime) The story of Eddie Jackson, black narcotics kingpin of Detroit during the late 60's and 70's. He's presented as a 'people pleasing kind of guy' who put customer service first, and shunned violence. Decades earlier, Joe Kennedy was in a similar business and he made it to be an ambassador, yet Eddie ended up dying in prison. Had the kingpins of the drug industry done something to change the drug laws they might have been revered instead of damned. However, maybe they knew this, but understood that if it remained illegal, they'd make more money.

Wrote a long email to Janny and watched a couple of YouTube interviews with Jackson Hood- DBT. 

10am and will read/ nap/ Planet Fitness later... Up far, far too early.
I went downstairs and read in silence. Decided to give up on 'MAYHEM' the Surete/ Gestapo murder mystery during the Vichy government. Trying to keep all the 'clues' straight, I knew that in the end, it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Found a hardback on the shelf in the 'computer room' that I read ten years ago called, 'BOULEVARD' by Jim Grimsley that really grabbed my attention.
On the bike to LA Fitness around 230pm...molten heat and humidity, but no rain in sight. 45" Walk. 3.6/0 (no downloads on Xfinity would work, so I did another THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL). 45" Recumbent Bike (BOULEVARD). 45" Cross (THE WIRE). 30" Bike (an 18" Netflix documentary about changing human genetics). 30" Cross (Sam Jones interview with an SNL comedian).
Home to soak, read more Grimsley and listen to The Dead. 

 Watched 'THE GREATER GOOD' (Amazon Prime) An examination of the pros and cons of vaccination. Makes the case that autism is caused by vaccines, yet this position is vehemently denied by mainstream medical science. Is this the 'global warming' debate of medicine? It seems like a lot of 'anecdotal' evidence to me that supports their claims. "I got the flu after getting my flu shot, so this proves that a flu shot gives you the flu".

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
