One should always be cautious about believing news that tells you that what you'd like to see happen is about to happen. But it sure looks like Donald Trump is in for a veritable cornucopia of further indictments…and soon.
Last night, I ordered something I needed from Amazon at 11:45 PM and they promised "overnight delivery." This morning, it was left on my doorstep at 4:55 AM. There are many valid criticisms of Amazon but I think five-hour service is pretty impressive. I assume it helps that I live in a densely-populated section of a large city…but still.
For some reason, the latest wave of spam phone calls I've been receiving consists of folks working for some kind of company with "Medicare" in its name even though it's in no way affiliated with the real Medicare. The caller claims to be consulting medical records of mine that say I have either back problems or Diabetes. I'm guessing all they have is my age but they figure that anyone who's 71 is likely to have one or both of those. I've found that the most fun way to get rid of such callers is to demand they tell me where they got my medical records and I also want their names and their company's contact info for my lawyers. They tend to hang up in a hurry.
Seventeen days until Comic-Con International 2023. One year, I got into a conversation with a serial cosplayer who told me that at each con, his goal was to come dressed as someone unique. He said, "I never dress up as Batman or Spider-Man because then I'm just one of dozens. I even feel I've failed if there's just one person dressed as what I'm supposed to be." This year, I suspect he'll achieve his goal by cosplaying as a movie star who has a new film coming out soon.
