Monday's Missives

• The people who were ripped off by the Theranos lady did not deserve what they got (because you're not supposed to steal) but dang she looked crazy and what is with that phony timbre that she affected with her voice? That would have been enough to make me say meeting over- we are done here.
• Also, oddly her family defended her and said that was her real voice. Did she have them fooled also- or were they lying to protect her?
• I heard a human resources somebody from Wal Mart ask a potential employee over the phone what religion they were. I would not have believed it had I not heard it myself. It was one of the first questions she asked.
• It was so dumb and out-of-place that even the poor person being asked himself thought she said, region so he said Afghanistan.
• Yes as you can guess he was obviously Muslim as the person asking the questions on the phone also obviously presumed. I will now presume you know he did not get that job.
• My biggest regret from during the war? Behind our shower point was a large lagoon where they dumped all of the grey water from the showers and all of the poo water from everywhere else on the base. The crazy thing is that  it was home to gazillions of birds. I saw a parrot and I think an Ibis near there and a medic buddy said he saw a parrot also.  Every evening you would see flights of birds coming into there from every direction. I wouldn't go back there though because it would violate my rule of, Do to not stick my neck out unless I have to.
• It is December 15th October 2019 at 0547 hours and crickets are singing like mad outside. It is so unusual for this time of day I presume that it has some meaning to it like breeding time or weather a pending weather change or something.
