Notes for July 18, 2024.

Buddy continued getting better, Google Photos vs Apple Photos, and we said goodbye to Bob Newhart.

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.”
–Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart made it to 94, still doing well from what I could see. Still, a hero is gone. He’s one person I can think of who really did great work in the medium of television, it was really perfect for his kind of comedy. The shows he did were half-hour sitcoms but they wouldn’t have worked without him.


So, I have an iPhone, and I also have Google Photos, and Apple Photos on iCloud. That’s probably too much backup, I know. But anyway: when I plug my phone in it seems like Google Photos and Apple Photos are fighting to store my pictures. I would think they’d both be the same, but they’re not. In particular my Apple Photos don’t appear to my desktop until I plug it in, but they’re on Google Photos right away.

Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong? Should I just get rid of one of these storage methods? I don’t like having to look in both places for my snaps.


Buddy’s still recovering from his eye removal. His incision’s really still too red for my comfort. I thought he was scratching or rubbing it, but now I think his big yawns are pulling on the incision. Anyway, he’s still staying inside (after about 4 hours of outdoor happiness). I can’t wait for him to go out and be King Buddy again.
