    Confused over date format

    Plus, when the date is in decreasing order (with leading zeros) at the start of the names of files their listings come up arranged in chronological and alphabetical order both.
  2. Rick of Rick and Peg

    Confused over date format

    I made a mistake booking a train when I was inexperienced because I made our reservations based on the day of the week. I hadn't noticed that Spain's calendar week started on a Monday instead of our Sunday. The easy fix was to extend our stay in Barcelona by a day.

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Thanks Dave. I had a number of good laughs reading these.

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    I'll do better than that by showing how to do all sorts of fancy things but only after saying that having full URLs printed out can be a good thing. And that is if you print out a post or take a screenshot or do a copy and paste you can see where to go. This website tells you about BBC...

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Here's a eight minute review of TheWay, My Way. The reviewer's main point is the bad acting. He notes that it is done by amateurs, some are good and some bad but the unevenness bothers him. He has a few problems with the lead's acting too but wonders if it isn't because of Bennett's directing...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Spain total solar eclipse, August 12, 2026: Are camino towns preparIng?

    Figure out the angle of viewing; since it is near sunset it is probably to the southwest. The sun will be low in the sky so seek a spot with no hills, buildings or trees in the way. Maybe hike up a mountain.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    Also, if you are suspicious and the URL looks good do not click the link. Type in the URL into a browser, don't do a copy and paste. Some letters that look like they are in the Latin alphabet may be similar looking letters in another alphabet and you could end up at a faked website.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    Head lamps are good for the outdoors. Inside, if you do need light, hold it in your hand.

    How to get QR Code onto Wikiloc App

    You have filters in Wikiloc to specify which category of tracks you want. There is an Off Road category in the Motor section.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    I was amused this morning with this juxtaposition: It might be a very short walk but the ladders nearly were my end twice.

    Eclipses over Santiago

    Here's a copy of a post I made a little while ago on another thread. We're still in Texas after seeing the total eclipse. We've been doing a lot of driving for this (but also visiting relatives). Worth it. Anyway, here's Spain 2026 eclipse information (the info is on a webpage about a tour but...

    Bar Etiquette

    I've likely taken empty glasses back to the counter, I can't remember. A comprise between that and leaving them on your table would be to collect yours and maybe others and leave them on a table that already has to be cleared.
