Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Good morning! A very muggy 72˚ this morning cloudy 50% chance of rain. It will be nice to see all the political trash gone.

Mom called crying yesterday, she had got a call from her grandchild that he was in jail and needed $5,000 cash to make bail and please don't tell his mother. It took me a while to convince her it was a scam, she kept insisting it was her grandchild voice. We got the mother on the phone and she said her son was in school. Hate scammers of the elderly.

Yep, there ought to be a special place in **** for people like that. I learned, many years ago, that it's much safer for the scammers to scam the elderly because, even if they get caught, they aren't likely to go prison. For one thing, the elderly victim is quite likely to not be a good witness in court to get a conviction. For another thing, if caught, the scammer may offer to return that one victim's money if they won't prosecute and the victim usually needs to get that money back more than he/she wants to see the scammer go to jail. It's a tough situation for both the victim and the police.

I would put an automatic jail sentence for card scammers equal to 1 day in jail for every dollar they scammed. Build more jails.

Good evening all. 58F this morning, overcast, 1.4 inch in the rain gauge, light wind. More wind than forecast through early afternoon, stayed overcast all day, and high temp of 59F. Led the SILs out of the subdivision, Men's meeting this morning, tried unsuccessfully to do some consulting, nap, bike ride and called it a day.
Mrs mostly says thank you for all the birthday wishes :cool2:
Randy hope Ellen recovering nicely.

Still some to do on the BMW, and a whole winter's work to do on the van, Mostly. But who knows, might have to start on a shop by Spring...

Build more jails.

I'm more of a pay-as-you-go sorta guy, and never vote for bond measures. Except when they're for building jails.:thumbsup:

53 going to only 58 and cloudy.

Hope Mrs. Mostly had a great birthday, and Ellen's tooth is feeling better.

Had a good visit with my mom yesterday...went to Virginia Beach and took her to get some laser work on her eye. Nice lunch and talk. Traffic was smooth and kind...even the tunnel was easy. I though we had a lot of political signs around here, but they had many more elections there, including mayor, city council and school board, so signs on top of signs. We don't elect the school board in this county - appointed by the elected county supervisor for each district.

Have a great day.

Good morning! Hope you all have a sun in the face, wind at your back kind of day.
Ellen seems to be fairing quite well with the tooth.
54 going to 58 they say.
Went to see mom yesterday and she was having a decent day. More and more she hates for me to leave, sometimes crying. I think she senses the end coming and is afraid when I leave she won’t see me again. I go at least Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, sometimes as much as 5 days a week. I wish I could bring her home to finish her days but the care she needs just won’t allow it.

Have a good day folks and God bless.
