   He just said he wanted to live at the lake. You get a better assignment if a bigger crime is involved. He ratted out his co-conspirators in that mattress tag removal gang.

   No warranty expressed or implied. No refunds, no returns. Contents may settle. Issuer may change conditions of service without notice. In the event of a disagreement, bwa-ha-ha-ha!

   The Amazon contract has kept the Post Office in business. They had to promise to meet delivery deadlines or be penalized. And apparently, the manager in charge of local deliveries had a financial stake. But the contract allowed for things they couldn’t control. Which led to widespread internal fraud, like lying claims that the customer box was blocked. Sure, like my rural box at the edge of the highway was blocked. Quit happening when I had a talk with the delivery manager and asked for the number of the postal service Inspector General. They’ve also kept a lot of eBay shipping by providing really deep discounts under the contract if you buy your label on the eBay site.

   In about 1960, you could use the kids’ secret telephone backchannel. Dial your own number to get a busy signal. Everyone else did the same. And you could all cross communicate by yelling real loud and being heard behind the busy signal. And the essential skill of dialing all but the last digit of the radio station’s number, so when they gave the signal, you could dial the last number and be caller number three or whatever and win the prize.

   That’s a big pie. They’re going to be there a while. Good thing they’re never out of training.

   Bread, among other things, WAS my downfall. Now, my carbs are cut permanently to next to nothing. I hope one day to be able to come off my diabetes medication. It’s too late for about half the feeling in my feet.

   This is not going to do her continued symmetry any good.

    Had a nice little outing with one of my dogs yesterday. Rattlesnake avoidance training. All my new dogs get it, because I catch two or three a year around the house (snakes, not dogs). I don’t know what the snakes are thinking. Probably, oh well, it’s a living. About 30 people and 35 dogs at $60 per snake, your choice of rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasin or all three. They all smell different, so dogs have to be trained to avoid each. So, not a bad haul in three hours for the handlers. The dog got to meet a lot of dogs, including another poodle who was nearly a clone, even to the white blaze on his chest and even his blue collar.
