Steel workers union....Independent businessman.
Just got home from a long week. Thanks for the amusement, I almost peed in my pants.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

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.

In Japan you see thousands of bikes everywhere with large bike parking areas and rarely do you see a bike locked up . . . It's a bit more civilized there.I don't use a cane for walking, just getting up, so my cane hand (right hand) is free if I am standing up.

No, it's because they all look alike, hard to do a line up.In Japan you see thousands of bikes everywhere with large bike parking areas and rarely do you see a bike locked up . . . It's a bit more civilized there.

How ya feeling today E?After getting an email from SDPD saying that my online report had been rejected because "this is a serious crime and cannot be reported online" I gave my fifth report on the incident to the cop who came to my residence today. He said that after he writes up his report and submits it that detectives might want to interview me.
At least he got to me before the bruises faded.
Im sure the "independent businessman" would be easy to spot.Today I got a call from a detective to ask me a few questions. He said he was checking to see if there were any videos from security cameras on that block.
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.
I'll go ahead and raise the flag up to the top of the pole now.My wife had to delay her business trip to Manila and Hanoi because of all this. She went through a little hell because she thought the ambulance would take me to Pomerado Hospital, so she went there. They had no record of me at first, then told her that I had just been checked into Palomar. Even worse, she hasn't been to Palomar Hospital since they built the new one, so she first went to the old one, which is now being reconfigured into business offices.
This morning I had to make about a dozen phone calls looking for my missing insurance cards, and at least now I have the account numbers and new cards on order.
Just like the scumbag you love.I'll go ahead and raise the flag up to the top of the pole now.
Thank's for the heads up.

I was ready to give espola the one day half staff salute, but he's okay now so the flag got run up all the way.Just like the scumbag you love.
WASHINGTON — The White House inexplicably flew the American flag at full-staff on Monday, after flying it at half-staff on Saturday night and Sunday in honor of Senator John McCain.
The lowering and raising of the flag amplified the division between President Trump and the longtime Republican senator, who died Saturday at 81. Mr. Trump offered his condolences on Saturday to Mr. McCain’s loved ones, but he has said nothing about Mr. McCain.
I remember when you only laughed at nono's lunacy for the responses it elicited from the sane. Now you are competing with him.I was ready to give espola the one day half staff salute, but he's okay now so the flag got run up all the way.
Im count'n on you to let me know when the old pain in the ass finally goes to the stolen golf ball rack in the sky.
