That if you sign on to an unfamiliar computer, say, at a library, Google will send you a notification (not a text, a notification) asking if it's you and then have you tap one of three numbers to correspond to what the computer says? That was a little creepy. Very useful, but still creepy.
I'm on the computer at the Beaumont library because it's not quite time for the public visitation for my friend, but I didn't want to go back home, but rather stay on this side of town. The funeral home is right down the street. I took YKWIA, who will be helping our friend with the family visitation, so he had to go earlier. But I'm all dressed and ready, and there seemed to be no real reason to go back home until later.
So I'm where I feel most comfortable, a library, looking through books and music. I pared down my keys to the car fob, ignition key, and house key only to realise when I got here that I don't have my library card, the actual card being with my Kindle and the key ring card being on the rest of the ring at home. But they let me use my licence to check out a few things, which was nice. I can apparently sign in to a computer using my name, but when I went to the reservation kiosk it asked for my library card number, which I was able to glean from the Lexington Public Library application on my phone.
Anyway, the plan is to spend some time doing some things here rather than go home. It's just a little over an hour till the public visitation begins, and the library closes at the same time, so it was fortuitous.
