Monday's Missives

• Things that surprise most people to learn: It is not at all unusual for an experienced firefighter to have never attacked a fire in an occupied dwelling and it is rare for a police officer regardless of how long they have served to have ever stopped a crime.
• Maybe I don't have a point and I definitely don't have an ax to grind, I just find it interesting how much of our world does not work like so many of us assumes it does.
• You can look for the information yourself- the truth is out there but England has a higher violent crime rate than the US.
• I can do the sound of a distressed kitten by mouth well enough that I've had friend-girl stop what she is doing and come looking for her dumb cat. Where is he? Is he stuck in the pantry? He sounds like he is in trouble. Also, I can get him to meow back and forth with me like we're talking about old times in cat language.
• I can also do a fairly passable quail call.
• What will all that get you? I don't know- nothing yet.
• New glasses need to be on my list soon. The ads reporting the money you'll save over a lifetime with those eye surgeries seem disingenuous  I mean maybe, if you go every year to the eye doctor and buy designer frames. Regardless, unless something has changed the surgery doesn't always last a lifetime.
• I have had a patch of dry skin behind my left ear all my life.
• Sugarcult Bouncing Off The Walls
