35 - 40 years ago in hospital to have an ocular implant, cataracts. About 5 patients in beds, drips in, etc., in some kind of pre staging area. A big chalk board with the procedures scheduled that morning.
Guy comes over and asks "are you the total knee replacement"?
I respond loudly no, ocular implant. He frowns, looks at his notes and leaves the room. The total knee is on the chalk board but he didn't look further.
Nurse gives me the sleepy shot and as I'm getting groggy another person comes up and asks "are you the total knee replacement "?
Next thing I remember is waking up, can't see, afraid my leg is being operated on. Heard my doctors voice "xxxx are you awake? Almost finished".
Thank God.
It happens more than you think.

Meyers shoulder pads looked over size. He would throw those into the helmet of receivers that came over the middle.
Different game.

Was a launch control specialist at a NATO site in W. Germany in 70s. Pershing 1A system, nuclear missile. During 4 minute countdown a key is brought to launch station to enable warhead. Real key big. Brass and heavy.
We used a dummy key for practice runs. Real keys kept locked under system that requires dual access.
They lost the dummy key and brought me a key from some piece of equipment that was similar to the real key that I had only seen photos of.
When I saw that key I thought a real launch and that meant we were launching 4 Pershing missiles each with a yield up to 400 kt. Meant the Soviets had already launched their Scud or SS 20 missiles at us. We were above ground.
WW III.

Was on Gunbroker. Serial number, surprised it was visible, was 5 away from one I had and bought new in late 70's. Gun very rough. Got outbid last few seconds. Under $500.00.

The kill shot came from the front.
Dems are losing legit voters. Not having children like MAGA. Need no ID for fraud. Everyone is aware except white Karens. They believe racism. Know one.

I read years ago about a guy whose weekend passion was driving, not the destination, just the driving.
Put a million miles on a Volvo or Saab.
You two would get along.

State Farm 2 vehicles full overage. Premium gone down about 10 % each of last 2 six month renewals.
Dowd is failing to understand that when you were once on the right you will be conditionally accepted by the left as long as you spew their propaganda.
They still hate you but you are useful to them as long as you say what they want you to say.
When you are no longer useful they don't give a shite.
See Liz Cheney, the crying guy on Jan 6 committee, etc.

Years ago had a guy try to hire me to fight a speeding ticket in Golden Meadow. 26 in a 25 mph zone. Wish I would have kept a copy.
At the time they had a Mayor's Court. Mayor not a lawyer. I told him to pay the fine. He said didn't care what it cost he wanted to fight. I must not have had cash flow issues at that time. I refused.
Told him if you and I show up for trial you will be found guilty, the fine will be tripled over what it is now, etc. Normal criminal procedure will be irrelevant.
As an aside, I saw a ticket for 19 in 25 mph zone. Driving too slow, obstructing traffic or some bullshite.
Johnny Carson got a ticket in Golden Meadow going to tarpon rodeo I think. Talked about it on Tonight Show.

I have black women fatigue.
2 recent plane flights. One had to return to gate and take her away in cuffs.
Could go on for pages but just the other day considering joining a gym, visited, and fat black "it's always them Bobo" sitting on pieces of equipment texting. Pointed thus out to gal showing us around and she just shrugged.

The cartels will start manning, at least partially, their operations with children.
Afghans did thus. Army SF forces would call in Apache or A 10 strikes on groups planting IEDs. Or just take them out themselves.
Bad guys started using children to plant the devices.
