DR TCB  we will be in Santorini tomorrow.  We have a tour that leaves us at the top of the cable car with a ticket down it to the tender for the ship.  We can walk around at our leisure before riding the car.  I like that and hope there is lots to do up there.

Thanks.  I might need them tomorrow.  You have to tender to get to Santorini.  I was told too often the water is rough and the ships cannot get the little boats to the shore.  In fact, the person who told me has taken 3 cruises there and has yet to see it.

In at 6:30 a.m., done at 7:30.  Can't beat that.

I was originally scheduled for 7:30 but they changed it yesterday to 6:45, and I was the only one there.  Great treatment and everything, as always at this place, no complaints.  Just glad I'm done for either another five or ten years - which they'll advise later.

ChasSmith, I didn't want to post this last while you were undergoing your cleanse, but I visited Skyline last night and had a big bowl of chili four ways and a Coney dog.

That would actually not have bothered me in the least, DR John G., but thank you for being considerate anyway!

Four ways, eh?  What do you skip - the onion or beans?

Haven't had a Coney there, but man, that chili is the perfect kind for hot dogs, so I shall do that.

Had to call AT&T again - when they changed my plan last week, they apparently entered the wrong code and so my visual voicemail on the iPhone went away - I couldn't figure out why stuff wasn't going to voicemail until yesterday when I actually went to look at the voicemail section, which had completely disappeared.  I couldn't get through to voicemail either - it was all gone.  So, this woman put in the correct code and I had to reset everything and every saved voicemail is gone - the whole thing had to be done from scratch.  REALLY irritating, but at least people can now leave a message.

The person (people?) who cooked the food on the barbecue, was (were?) outside under the loading area's overhang, so she (they?) didn't get wet, at all.  As usual, there are plenty of leftovers for grazing throughout the rest of the day! :D

I have watched the series since it first started, but for some reason, I didn't watch it this season.  I've watched the first couple of episodes on OnDemand.  I want to go through the whole season.  Fortunately, every episode is still available, not just the last few episodes.  Don't worry about posting spoilers, though.  That doesn't bother me. :)

So, gas.  I waited until eight-thirty, figuring all the gasser uppers will be long gone and home with their families.  I went to the station near me, which also is the cheapest at 2.79.  Well, cars waiting in line to gas up at eight-thirty.  I was going to put an F word in there, because that's how stupid it was.  I just don't get it.  So, I drove to my other station just a few blocks away, where gas is six cents more, so no real difference.  There was exactly one pump not occupied and I got it.  But seriously, what are these morons doing?  Is Wednesday night at eight thirty put gas in your car night?  Or did they read yesterday's notes and know I was going to put gas in the car tonight?  Completely and utterly disgusting.

So, Gelson's deli.  Jammed, but it thinned out quickly save for this moron mom and her two kids.  One was rather nerdy and said and did nothing - him I liked.  The other was just a typical entitled kid of today - in his soccer uniform and asking to sample EVERYTHING.  So, they take fifteen chicken tenders, and a few other things.  Then he has to sample the mashed potatoes.  Then as he's eating that they all walk away so the server comes to me since I'm next.  We're discussing the state of the remaining chicken tenders and there are exactly two that don't look as if they've been sitting there for two days.  I'm about to tell him I'll take them when Kid Mashed Potato comes back, steps right in front of me and orders a small container of mashed potatoes.  The server couldn't believe it and just continued with me, but I told him to give the kid his potatoes.  He gives the kid his potatoes.  But does the kid say thanks and leave?  No, now he has to try the fried potatoes, then the teriyaki chicken wings - the mom and bro come back and she thinks her little darling is soooooooo cute.  Of course, he's blithely unaware that he just butted in front of something and then continued to keep the man who was serving ME serving him.  Finally another server came to me and I got the two chicken tenders.  And they were still there, ordering the teriyaki wings - I mean, it's nine o'clock.  Shouldn't these children be in bed?  But no, she's allowing Hockey Puck to stuff his face with samples and then you know this crap they just got is going to be eaten as soon as they get home.  This is parenting today.

Today I went to the Old Actor's Lunch.

It was attended by every old actor in town, who cares to eat with me.

Today was my choice - again.

So I picked Anthony's - again.

I had received some mild complaints about my choice - again.

So, I apologized that I had a lot on my mind, and just wasn't up to originality.

And everyone was like, "oh no, we love this place."

Today I tried their Manhattan clam chowder.

The waitress had to make sure I had just ordered "the red kind."

I tried to think of some smart aleck comment, but all I could think of was "Duh," but that sounded rude, so I just said yes.

It was very good Manhattan chowder, with a little kick to it.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF AUGUST
Post by: TCB on August 31, 2016, 10:45:44 PM
But when you are eating at a place that makes one of the best New England clam chowders in town, he seemed a little silly to order the Manhattan.

But it was very tasty and combined with a Caesar salad, it was a pretty good lunch.

But darn it, I still want oysters!

Maybe if it isn't too rainy tomorrow, I will go to Harbor Lights for their oysters.

I also want to make either chili or beef stew this weekend.

It is starting to seem like an early autumn.

Even the TV weather people are talking as if summer is over.  AND IT IS STILL AUGUST.

In other words, the local channels aren't coming up on the tv.

Yes, it was.  But it's been rebuilt.  I went there earlier this year and had a very good burger.  It'd been years since I had gone, but I remember that the burger I had before was also very good.

Everything else, like the Game show network, QVC, etc. are coming in fine.
