We 8/14/19- Amazon Music Down For An Hour!

We 8/14/19

Up 740am; blue skies and temps to just about 80.

Watched 'HET VONNIS' (Dutch; 'The Verdict') (Hoopla) Another terrific 'Revenge Film', but focuses on the Belgian judicial system more than the actual crimes. A woman is brutally beaten to death while her husband is gassing up the car across the street. He follows his wife into the store, and is kicked unconscious (he's in a coma for three weeks). His seven year old daughter crosses the street to help her parents, and is killed by a passing car. The killer is arrested, but is soon freed due to a 'procedural error'. Under Belgium law this renders all evidence against the perp inadmissible. Weeks go by, and the aggrieved husband gets a gun and kills his wife's murderer. He is brought to trial and tries to force the system to absolve him. The closing arguments for both sides are nearly equally compelling. The guy gets off, but you can't help but wonder if justice was really served.

Wrote up 'LAY DOWN MY SWORD AND SHIELD'- James Lee Burke for the blog.

Stock market plunges over 800 points!

I ordered a front bike light and got a free back light on Amazon. And, ordered another James Lee Burke novel; $25.

1215pm: reading 'SELLING OUT' and wanted to bike to FitClub later, but they are closed due to work on the parking lot. Looks like LA Fitness....I want to get in a slightly early workout because I have to be at the dentist tomorrow at 1110 am.

Read more of 'SELLING OUT' and on the machines at LA Fitness just before 3pm. 45" Walk (THE SINNER). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'SELLING OUT'/ GEORGE THOROGOOD). 45" Cross (THE SINNER). 30" Walk (Finished the last episode of 'THE SINNER'). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Chris Messina).

******Home to read for about an hour, and when putting more music on Amazon Music everything went dark. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but still no response. I even tried to join Amazon Music Prime. In the tub with Google Play and more Dan Wakefield and Amazon Music came back in about an hour. Whew!!!

The first episode of 'FREE MEEK' (Amazon Prime), then the first episode of , 'JAZZ' (Amazon Prime).

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...
