I think he and BEvans conferred on the forecast.
One of the weirder historical quirks is that President John Tyler, who was born over 210 years ago and left office over 175 years ago, had 2 grandsons still living. 1 of them just died.
President Tyler was born in 1790. He had a son, Lyon Sr. when he was 63.
Lyon Sr. had Lyon Jr. when Lyon Sr. was 72.
Lyon Jr. just died at 95.

That's amazing. To think of having a grandfather that was living in the 1700s is just mind-boggling.
By the way, I wonder if there are any non-famous people that fall in this category that have been publicized. It really is fascinating.
Tyler was known as ‘“His Accidency” because he became President only due to William Henry Harrison’s death.
I wonder how many of his kids could have had the same name...

I wonder if they ever found out who the father was?
Mrs. BEvans went to see her mother for a week or so. She might come back--it's possible.
Guess I'll have to watch some football today, maybe make a pot of chili.
You could vacuum and do laundry. Nah..Quote:

FWIW I know a guy who really did have their dad walk out that way, actually said he was going out for cigarettes, didn't come back.
How did you spend your Sunday? Driving to my daughter's college to drop off a car for her as a loaner. Driving back. Then waiting on AAA to tow her car to the dealer.
We tried to start a pool on what you did on your weekends but everyone wanted to pick "driving somewhere for the family", so it never worked out. There just wasn't a way to lay off the bets.
I've been at gallery trying to catch up as usual. Which is also too easy of a bet to entice any gambling. lol
Frost on the pumpkin tonight.

Spent the last 90 minutes trying to install a 60-day free trial of some software that I really don't need, but it's bugging me.
So it's 12:30 a.m. (almost) local time, and I'm exhausted from the week of work, and have work I need to do this weekend. And I've been fiddling around with this stupid software.
Where's a good screw extractor kit when you need one?

Never hurts to try.
Well, it does sometime. But I never would have had a date in high school if I allowed hurt feelings to count. Try, try again, I always said.
Sometimes trying hurts.
It hurt Evil Kinevil all the time.
Got the house to myself tonight and starting the weekend off with a gin and tonic. Bombay dry and actually instead of tonic water, Kroger’s Simple Truth Organic brand lemon lime seltzer water. Just enough carbonation without being too much like the regular Kroger brand.
I used to enjoy a little sapphire from time to time, in the form of a martini, slightly dirty.

I may give that a try. Been stuck on gin and tonic of late, may try the seltzer since you liked it.Quote:

Time to begin the sad autumnal tradition of a UK football loss followed by raking of leaves.

27 degrees when I sent the wife off to her teaching the grand kids job this morning at 7:00
I have not been outside today. Do most of my work from home, as a lot of people are. The sun is out and it is bright and shiny, but it could be chilly.
Lovely weather here 50’s/70’s

I got one of those Scam Alert notifications on a telephone call coming to my phone. I usually ignore them, but this time I went ahead and answer the phone. It was a recording that said that my plastic would be charged $399 to renew a computer IT thing. It said that if this was inappropriate, to call back at their telephone number.
Apparently the scam goes like this. When you call back, they tell you they're going to refund the charge but they need access to your computer. From there I'm not sure what happens, because obviously I didn't call back but I did a little research and saw that was the case. I'm going to return to my practice of just not answering phone calls I don't know, especially when I receive a Scam Alert warning.
Our server at work got hit with a phishing scam. Luckily IT got to it before it escalated.
Below is the email I received with the warning...
We were the victim of a successful Phishing attack on our computer system over the last 2 weeks. While a disaster was avoided this time we need to be ever vigilant concerning security of our system.
A Phishing attack is when you receive an email that may look very legitimate. It may look as if it is coming from someone you know or being generated internally by our system. It will usually indicate you need to “click here” or ask you to go to a website to reset your password or verify your account etc.
These attempts can be very convincing. Many are the work of large criminal organizations and off shore entities including governments of foreign countries.
It is estimated we are getting hammered with thousands of these attempts daily. Our software is catching 90+% of them but it is estimated most of us are seeing 2-4 attempts daily.

31 years ago the Berlin Wall effectively ceased to exist. Interesting Twitter thread about how it happened:
https://twitter.com/jbhenchman/statu...30256956223489
TL;DR version:
--DDR press secretary given an incomplete press release, put out at the press conference East-West travel would begin immediately
--Secret police captain deluged by East Berliners and without orders ordered all checkpoints opened.
So the fall of the Iron Curtain was accelerated by a bureacratic mistake.
My work got hit by a ransomware attack around this time last year, it was believed it came in via a phishin email. It took us MONTHS of work to recover from this.Quote:

Sitting in front of Meijer’s at 4:00 am hoping to score a Play Station 5 for my kid because that’s just the kind of dad I am. He’s 18 but has school today plus he was up past midnight trying to find one thru Target and Best Buy.
