 Fr 10/2/20- $74 at County Market; Dropped off presidential ballot.

Up 715am: Partly cloudy with temps almost to 60.

After the shopping I went downtown to drop the ballot on the south side of the Sangamon County Building. Two old guys were collecting ballots from the ballot box and I asked if the mailing envelope was necessary. "Just put it in, it really doesn't matter'.

Home to put away the groceries and watched Netflix disc 'HIDEAWAY'. Dir. Francoise Ozon.  Pregnant and a junkie, the father of her child dies of a heroin overdose, but she decides to keep the baby.  She's living in a rural area of France when the dead man's brother drops in and forms a relationship with the girl. Not great, but worth a look. 

Then watched 'PICKPOCKET' (Netflix). Set in Bogata, Columbia a policeman who works closed camera surveillance runs groups of pickpockets in the city's tourist section. He finds a crew that he helps, and, in the end, they help him to leave the city. A pretty good film and it had been in the Netflix 'My List' queue for months, maybe over a year. 

Going to do a shorter walk and drop off today's disc at the box by Walgreens on Monroe.  Then some 'True Crime' on the treadmill. 

***Luckily I checked the mail before I left because I got a $1,400 real estate tax bill that wasn't paid in September. I wrote out a check on the Ameriprise account and mailed it with the disc. 

3pm...Fairway, east on Monroe and dropped the mail at the box next to Walgreens. Down to Kenyon and down to 940. 30 MINS. 

Home to do FOUR AND A HALF MILES on the treadmill. 3.1 PACE. Watching GETTING DOUG WITH HIGH at JashFesht. 

In the tub with HEINLEIN and listening to WITCH, TERRY REID, BAD BRAINS. 

Watched 'PACIFIC HEIGHTS' (Amazon Prime). A young couple scrape together enough money to buy a beautiful home in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood and they expect to rent out a couple of apartments to cover the mortgage, but they get a tenant from Hell; with Melanie Griffith, Mathew Modine, and Michael Keaton.

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...

This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
