Espola's newest neighborhood

Well, that was fun. I periodically check the online page of my credit card account. Today I noticed a charge for 10 cents from Walmart yesterday. Yesterday, I bought twice from Walmart, once for medicine using my Medicare Supplemental OTC account, and once for groceries using a gift card my wife got from the Bingo people. Nothing was 10 cents, and neither purchase involved my credit card.

After about an hour on the phone, the CC company is going to issue a credit for 10 cents.

Customer service people must hate old retired people with nothing better to do.

I’d recommend getting a new credit card. Small changes that are likely to go unnoticed are often test transactions from stolen cc numbers or duplicated cards.
 
I had an ultrasound exam of my innards on Monday. The results posted by the medical center on my online account included the phrase "Normal ... for the patient's stated age". I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

San Francisco Chronicle ripped for asking if residents should 'tolerate burglaries'

My contribution for Veterans Day -- the postcard my father, then 17 and a Senior in high school, sent to his girl friend, one day to be my mother, after he joined the Marine Corps. I assume the card was provided by the Marine recruiter, since the back contains the Marine Hymn.

I notice in the local news that the felony false police report trial of former La Mesa police officer Matthew Dages is starting this week. A question for legal advisers -- why doesn't his lawyer cut a plea deal and save Dages from another round of public embarrassment? Is it because if he admits guilt here that can be used against him in his civil lawsuit?

An associated question that has bothered me since this incident -- why didn't the supervising officer on the scene, where Dages was a member of a team of a half-dozen officers who were conducting a fare-compliance operation at the Grossmont trolley station across the street, defuse the situation by simply letting the victim go?
 
A reason to get up early --

Leonard is actually already visible in the sky and can be seen the first two weeks of December in the east before the sun rises. NASA says you can spot it by looking between the Big Dipper’s handle and Arcturus, the latter of which is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

San Francisco crime surge prompts city to suspend cannabis tax to help dispensaries versus drug dealers
Cannabis businesses create good jobs for San Franciscans and provide safe, regulated products to their customers. Now is not the time to impose a new tax on small businesses that are just getting established and trying to compete with illicit operators.
