Rampant Robocalls

Photo on this post is my phone log from yesterday. Got 7 consecutive robocalls in the last 24 hours all with the same cell phone prefix as mine. I get probably 8 to 9 times more robocalls than legitimate, non-solicitous phone calls.

I haven't answered a single call thanks to a relatively new feature on my iPhone. If you haven't done this and don't know how, go to:

Settings -> Phone -> Call Silencing and Blocked Contacts -> Silence Unknown Callers

Most that try to call will leave me a voice mail message, text or email.

Now if only the FCC and Chairman Ajit Pai can do something about these getting rid of robocalls once for all.  They've been annoying us for too long.

 

Labor Day 2020 - Sunday Hell

For the first time in 8 years, I am not in Reno bowling at the Chinese-Japanese Labor Day Invitational. It's just as well. I haven't bowled since June. Team event this year is a 5-person team bowling on a single lane. This is to maintain social distancing due to COVID-19. I don't have a lot of patience bowling on 5-person teams. 

More than anything else, I don't trust pandemic hotel cleaning protocols where their primary source of revenue is gambling.

San Francisco broke temperature records today hitting the thermometer at 100F. In my neighborhood, Lakeside, it got as high as 93F.  The neighbor's dog has been barking non-stop for the past 3 hours. 

Thankfully, it's dropped 10+ degrees as I write. My food delivery arrived early. The dog stopped barking. 

My front door and windows will stay open for most of the evening.

Labor Day's forecast is drop into the high 70's. When it's hot like this, I wouldn't complain if asked to come in to work. In an air conditioned office.
