Evening Routine

Getting ready for bed.

Working on notebook in Mobile Hermitage

The signal is too weak to get online.

iPhone Touch Display Problems and Camera Problems

I'm having two separate problems with my personal iPhone. One is that the touch screen has stopped functioning across the screen in the location above the cancel button. For this reason, it makes it impossible to use the "Erase all content and settings" option (required to fix the second problem). The second problem is that the camera doesn't work. When taking a picture, the image shows up as a blank (white) image in the film roll. This second problem (with the camera) I've had before and have written up documentation on how to fix the problem. The first problem (with the touch screen) requires that the phone be sent into Apple for repair. In the past, I've received a new phone when I sent mine in to have this problem resolved. I'll need to call Apple with a service request and it means I'll be without the phone (my private unlisted phone number) for a few days. So, I'll need to take all calls on my business/public phone number which is 319-621-4911.

This evening, I'm going to try using the phone reset feature provided by iTunes to get the phone reset and camera feature working for the few days between now and when the pre-paid shipping box arrives from Apple.

Hole in Parking Lot

Water eroded the foundation from under the parking lot at Brueggers on
Riverside. The hole in this photo is about the size of a bicycle helmet.

Traffic on Prentis Street at rush hour is moving at about 2 miles per
hour between Clinton Street and Gilbert Street. From the intersection
of Clinton and Gilbert, traffic is backed up about two or three blocks.

East Benton Street is still flooded west of Gilbert Street

Updating Live Feed

There were a few evening entries for the Gregory Cam live feed from June 13 that weren't posted because the photo limit had been reached. Those are now online posted to this new Gregory Cam live feed blog for June.

Breakfast

Breakfast consists of Nature's Plus Source of Life Energy Shake (four scoops of powder mixed with 600 ml of water) and Kashi GoLean Cereal. This simple meal contains more protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients than what an entire day's worth of typical meals would provide. An additional benefit of the cereal and energy shake is that these items can be stored for an extended period of time without refrigeration (saving energy) and their preparation requires no energy (for cooking or heating).
