I have been getting those calls --

It's nice to know what they mean --“you have a package from Amazon at the Chinese Embassy, press 1 for more details”

I recall the time when I worked in a factory when they had a paging system installed. Anyone could punch in a short code number on their phone and then make a PA message to the whole place. The system was upgraded when it became apparent that it was too easy to misdial the code by accident and end up serenading the whole factory with a series of dial tones, followed by mumbled curses and hangup noises. Some pranksters (software engineers, I suspect) learned to patch in whole DTMF songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

We hear " Twinkle Twinkle Little Star "

You hear " Twinkle Twinkle Little Thief "

Twinkle, twinkle, little thief,
How I wonder what lets you sleep!
Up before dawn he spies them with his eye,
Like a crook he grabs them on the fly.

When the owners see they are gone,
When they know something is wrong
Then you show your little face,
Twinkle, twinkle, throughout the place.

Then the crook moves to the park
Knowing he can steal after dark
He can see the precious items as he walks slow,
If the lighting will twinkle with a glow.

In the dark blue night he creeps,
And often through pleated curtains he peeps,
For you should never shut your eye
When that thief wanders under the darkened sky.

As you play upon that precious course
Watch out for the thief who steals without remorse
Though we know not who you are,
Twinkle, twinkle little thief steals under the darkened star.

The Amazon ad algorithm is working in an intriguing way lately -- the three book titles it has been pitching to me all day are From Russia With Love, Off Topic, and Hard Time (Joe Arpaio's book).
 
Hoist on their own petard? -- Monsanto has been making a lot of enemies the last few years for suing farmers that they claim are violating their patent on Roundup-ready seeds by replanting the seeds instead of just selling them as crops and agricultural service companies for assisting the farmers in preparing the seeds for planting. The Monsanto patent is for plants that allow the farmer to spray Roundup weedkiller directly on the growing plants since they have a GMO-implanted ability to survive the treatment.

What I posted today on Facebook --

Is kendo the name of the Japanese martial art of stick-fighting? I might need to sign up for a course.

Today a young street entrepreneur grabbed cash out of my hand, and when I grabbed the pack off his bicycle handlebars in return, he whacked me in the side of the head hard enough to knock my hat off. I responded with my cane to the side of his head. I blocked his next attempt with my left arm (I have a little bruise to show for it) and caned him in the head again. I was also able to poke a few items away from him with the cane - I think it was a set of headphones and a phone charger cable - I didn't look, but just threw it over the parking lot fence.

Then he took off running down the street. No point to chasing him, but I did shout - "When you get busted tell your cellmates you ran away from an old man with a cane!"

Whoever it was that cautioned me against regular use of naproxen was on the money, but different money. I laid off for a while and a certain distressing digestive symptom went away, but then came back when I restarted the drug. I'm off it for now, using a more natural painkiller when needed.
Dont mention it.
ima giver.
 
When I went to the local branch police station today in PQ to discuss my police report, the officer working the front desk told me that there are senior citizen groups that tech cane-based self-defense techniques. I don't know whether to take him seriously or not.

Remember when I told you to stay away from naproxin?
Bout time you start paying attention.
Wise ass like you needs all the help you can get.
 

I don't use a cane for walking, just getting up, so my cane hand (right hand) is free if I am standing up.

He was straddling a bicycle because he tried to ride away until I bumped the bike into the black metal trolley safety railing

https://www.google.com/maps/@32.708...4!1s3iKhJ8ISijVXZ7iKp-pppQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

He ended up with one leg over the bike frame and the other on the ground holding up his weight, with his body leaning against the railing. I wasn't going to let the bicycle forward, and he wasn't in a good position to go backward so he was trying to get me out of the way.

His left hand was busy holding a pack or bag under his left armpit. He was punching at me with his right. His first blow to my left ear I didn't see coming, and it knocked off my hat. After I bent down to pick up the hat, as I rose up I came up with the cane in a one-handed baseball swing and caught him in the left temple or ear as hard as I could. He swung again and I blocked it with my left arm (scrapes and bruises today). I was poking him in the chest with my cane to keep him away and trying to push things out of his bag or get the cords around his neck. The third swing (the third I was aware of anyway) I ducked and he just caught my glasses and the bill of my cap. When I bent down to pick them up, I brought the cane up the same way as before and hit him in the same place.

By then he was ready to give up the bike, so he vaulted over the front wheel with both his bags, running faster than I could hope to chase.
