A lot of us who use Google's services, most especially g-mail, are rather up in arms over their new privacy policy. Me? Not so much. I NEVER put sumthin' on these inter-tubes... even in e-mail... that I wouldn't want my Mom to read. Or my grandkids. But I will admit that the folks in the Googleplex DO scare me from time to time.

Apropos o' not much... my day got off to a lousy start today. I got to bed around 0530 hrs this morning and was rudely awakened by loud, persistent pounding on my front door at 1000 hrs. I struggled into some clothes, answered the door, and was surprised to see a P-Ville cop standing there, his squad car parked next to The Green Hornet under the carport. "Is that yer car?" sez the ossifer, pointing at a Mustang parked in front o' the dumpster at the curb. "No," sez I, "you're parked next to my car." "Sorry to disturb you," sez he, "but we don't wanna tow that car unless we have to."
It was nice of them to ask before towing - or not.
ReplyDeleteRude awakenings are tough to recover from. Sort of like the phone ringing in the middle of the night and it's a wrong number.
ReplyDeleteLou: Well, since it wasn't MY car I could have lived without being awakened four hours earlier than I like.
ReplyDeleteKris: You're oh-so-right.
It wasn't cops that woke us a 0430 our time
DeleteHmmm... seeing as how there is a one hour time difference, we were awakened at the same time. You by cops, we, by the deity at hand
I wonder if the Mustang had anything to do with your neighbor lady. Would make a nice tie in to the green monster story from the other day!
ReplyDeleteDarryl: The lady seems to prefer gentlemen who drive trucks, The Deity At Hand only knows why. So: I doubt it. But since she works nights I'm pretty sure she was at least as pissed as I was about the rude awakening.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable. I cannot imagine a NOLA cop trying to prevent a car from being towed!
ReplyDeleteSmall town livin', Moogie. I bitch about it sometimes but there ARE bennies.
