Monday Overnight Open Thread (4/26/21)

Quote I "Police officers who arrived on site were able to see that the fire began inside the residence. Earlier this morning… our arson squad from Montreal police took charge of the investigation. They were onsite this morning to analyze all the scene, meet some witnesses to try to understand what was the cause and the circumstances of the beginning of this fire." Julien Lévesque, a media relations officer for Montreal Police
Quote IIA "What I believe you’re going to be hearing, what the country is going to be hearing soon, is updated guidelines from the CDC. The CDC is a science-based organization. They don’t want to make any guidelines unless they look at the data and the data backs it up." Anthony Fauci, MD. (4/25/21)
Quote IIB Really? Well, that’s interesting. I don’t want to be critical of that, but that’s — I would not start off with 100 percent capacity. But, you know, Texas has been always a bit more — what’s the right word? — daring when it comes to the kinds of things that they want to do in regards to this outbreak.Anthony Fauci, MD. (3/31/21)
Quote III "John Kerry was ratting out Israeli covert operations in Syria directly to the Iranian foreign minister. Let that sink in. Wow," Noah Pollak of the Democratic Alliance Group
Quote IV "That's hopeful but not a panacea. Body-worn cameras are a useful part of the response but not a solution by themselves. Body-worn cameras are not going to solve the problem of the enormous gap we see in police use of force in the U.S. against Black versus white Americans." Professor Jens Ludwig
Normally California politics is boring to watch as an outsider. The state continues to get goofier and goofier. Politicians make their names by being more leftist than their opponent. Things just got interesting in California. It looks like a number of Californians have had it with old Gavin Newsome, Gov. It looks like the recall petition drive against him has enough signatures.
The effort to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) reached 1.6 million valid signatures as of Monday, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said on Monday evening. The bipartisan campaign to recall Newsom is set to be on the ballot this year, pending Weber's final certification of the signatures.
Ahhh the joys of socialism...... 'As I’ve been saying, having access to foreign cash is what keeps you afloat here...'
Thirteen months of the new normal, time for the first entry in ‘year two’ of the lockdowns. I took some pondering as to how to frame this post without making it too repetitive to previous entries, and I initially found that hard to do because quite frankly, it’s all the same down here. In a general and broad sense, everything is just the same old stagnation. Venezuelan life today is characterized by our unique and endogenous blend of a collapsed and ruined country mixed with the limitations and nuances of a lockdown continues without change. Our personal rhythms and schedules are still dictated by the rather ineffective cycles of ‘radical’ and ‘flexible’ lockdown weeks. No one generally cares about the inert opposition anymore, Juan Guaido’s presidency is but a self-sustaining joke at this point, and the socialist party continues to exert full political control in the nation. Skirmishes between the Venezuelan military and FARC dissidents have reignited our migrant crisis after the pandemic had drastically slowed it up to a crawl, and urban warfare between the Venezuelan police and armed bands is now bread and butter in the Cota 905 area of Caracas.
I'll be honest. I'm not a grandparent so I don't understand the love a grandparent has for his or her grandchild. On the other hand, my maternal grandfather has been gone for 50 years and I still have several photos of him displayed in our home. And the following story raises an eyebrow or 2. 'Mom Explains Why Grandparents Can’t Hug Her 2-Year-Old Whenever They Want And Have To Ask For Consent'
Hugs and kisses from relatives are nice, but only with consent. That’s what one mother and TikTok video creator is trying to get her daughter’s grandparents to understand. Australian mom Brittany Baxter shared a series of TikTok videos where she discussed how her daughter’s grandparents overstep the boundaries that she’s set out for her child. They ignore their grandchild’s ‘no’ and kiss and hug her anyway. Or they feel hurt that the kid doesn’t want affection at that very moment. Check out Brittany’s videos below and be sure to let us know what you think, dear Pandas. Plenty of people supported Brittany enforcing strict boundaries and teaching her daughter about consent and body autonomy. However, others were more critical of this approach. And consent is a difficult topic to broach because it’s not always expressed overtly and can be implied and tacit.

After setting a record for the most expensive shoe ever sold last year, the company has landed another record-breaking sale.

If I were an employer, why should I consider hiring a University of Pittsburgh grad?
Citing COVID-19 related stress levels the University of Pittsburgh will now allow professors to give students a passing grade, even if they didn't finish the required coursework by the end of the term. In an announcement to the University of Pittsburgh community, Joseph J. McCarthy, the vice provost for undergraduate studies, said that the university will be modifying the "'G grade' (incomplete for extenuating circumstances)" to give professors the option to give a student a passing grade, even if they haven't finished the necessary coursework. "This new process will allow a 'fallback grade' to be recorded in cases where a student has done enough to achieve a passing grade in a course but would like more time to finish some well-defined final assignments," the email states.

So when you rob a bank do you leave with money or stay for the police response? Genius Award Winner. 1st Runner-up.
Man arrested at teller window during attempted bank robbery, Ocala police sayIsabelle Jackson Elementary fifth grade teacher Crystal Defanti is tonight's Genius Award Winner.
Tellers left man at the window while they called police, records show
A local teacher accidentally put pornography into a DVD that was meant to be filled with school memories from the past year, and nobody caught the error until after it was sent home, shocking parents and students alike.
Parents of students who attend Isabelle Jackson Elementary said that the woman is a good teacher, but just made a mistake that may become the most embarrassing moment of their life. The offending DVD starts with a menu screen that displays various school trips and functions, and when you click on one of them, you see kids in a classroom sharing stories. They start clapping, then the video suddenly cuts to sex.
Gloria Walker did a nice job raising her son. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Last year, after Walker was told that she had late-stage bladder cancer, her son Dustin Vitale asked her: "If there's one thing in the world you can do, what would it be?'" "She said, 'I’d like to see the pyramids'," he said. "Ever since she was a little girl, she's wanted to see them." But she did not want to travel alone or just go with her husband, Tone. She wanted to go with her whole family. Vitale, who works as a middle school teacher in Philadelphia could never afford to pay the trip expenses for 14 family members. So, he decided he could raise the money by selling cheesesteaks. Vitale said his campaign started on his Instagram story, which friends, family, and his students helped to spread.

My 16-year-old son protected his 19-year-old sister while they were out shopping together last night. Apparently, a bunch of neanderthals decided it was okay to hoot and whistle and leer at her, trying to provoke a response from him thinking that he was her boyfriend. He did not engage as he was outnumbered, but he refused to let her out of his sight until they left the store.

Brittany's a twat for shaming the grandparents, but I agree with her otherwise. If a kid doesn't want kisses or cuddles, I think it's their right. Adults need to override their kids wishes often, but I disagree that's one of those times.

But I think that is Dominion style vote counting for the POC community. The FNM and their whoring grievance mongers *tell us* that they all want no policing while telling them that the PoPo are just out to get them.
But, shrug, They'll either work it out, (mafia style protection rackets or something) or not. Even if the Dems have been committing vote fraud in those communities forever; the communities *have* gone along with D 'leadership' and bathing in FNM lies.

Hospital rules. And I probably will get grief if I decide to skip oncology appointments because I won't wear a mask.
But will I mention when I am stuck in the room with the Dr or her nurse just how stupid it is to say it is a vaccine when we both are still wearing masks after getting jabbed.
Yes. Yes I will.
But that is the line for me. Everyone else can fuck right off with telling me to mask up. And I will laugh if they wind up with one of those illnesses that masks are pointing toward making people susceptible to as I ask them to wear a mask so I don't get it, because masks show you care about others. And because I can be a bastard.

The original Billy Joe Royal version was played every hour, on the hour, in the strawberry picking fields. That's what I remember as a 10 year old.
Hell yes, I picked strawberries as a 10 year old. And Granny was right there with a half dozen of my cousins, teaching us how to earn some of your own money, and also to do better in school and get a real job if you wanted to do something other than picking berries in the hot sun.
And to reinforce it, on Friday pay days, we would take our hard-earned cash and Granny would stop at the little store on the way home so we could by candy and pop.

Yep, you're correct. It was a couple of bastard old reporter-types from the east coast that refused the 1st ballot vote. They either knew nothing about the history of Major League Baseball, or they were jealous, racist pieces of sh*t. Because they had HOF votes for many years, smart money was on racist.
When at the prime of his career, a reporter asked Ken Jr. after a game how is he so good when at the plate, what are his secrets?
"I see the ball, I hit the ball." He was almost apologetic that he didn't say more. There was no second question, the reporters assembled just nodded.

Good ol' Gavin could recover from a loss to John Cox (also running), but the humiliation of being de-Governored by the papercuts of millions of ballots; it will be decades before Gav tries anything political again.
If you're in CA, please spread the word: all other R and I candidates need to stand down; all voters need to vote for Caitlyn.

Derek Jeter.

When you think of Derek Jeter as a Hall of Famer, he's comparable to a Pee Wee Reese, not to a Honus Wagner. A tribute to the media power of Yankeedom.

If LCD is here (and for anyone else who cares), Ken Griffey, Jr. should have been the first unanimous 1st ballot MLB HOF selection.
_________
Impossible. He never played for the Yankees.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at April 26, 2021 09:45 PM (mht8P)
Heh. Griffey Sr played for the Yankees when Ken was an early teenager. Jr and Sr were very tight, and while it was against Yankee policy, Jr would often show up during warn-ups and be all over the field. Knowing how to handle himself around major leaguers, he was universally loved by all the players.
George Steinbrenner, owner at the time, saw it once and banned Jr from the practices. All the players defended Jr, and Jr was back before too long.
Ken Griffey Jr made no bones about hating Steinbrenner with every fiber of his being. He thought Steinbrenner disrespected his father on a regular basis.
And yes, thathalfrican, there has never been a sweeter, more efficient swing in MLB, at least when I've been alive. It was not only his swing, but the masterful way his entire body supported that swing. True beauty.

The guy who plays Raiden was the Japanese translator in Silence. He was so evil there, a great little performance. Here, it's all just off.
Fighting movies are rarely my cup of tea, but I expect the fights to be good, at least, and there not to be a whole mess of time between the fights where we get endless explanations about meaningless lore and terrible acting with terrible dialogue.

-------
If I remember correctly from the Davis recall, the number of candidates on the ballot doesn't change whether the recall happens. Everyone voting on the recall casts two votes. The first vote is whether or not the candidate is recalled. The second vote is who the voter would like to replace the recalled candidate if the recall passes.

Look, after the CW version 2.0 is over, Constitutional America will still need a west coast deep water port. That leaves Seattle or San Francisco, Portland is a half day sailing up the Columbia river, and LA's port is behind a breakwater.
It's always easier to hold a territory than to abandon it and try to retake it. So think of us stubborn Morons as looking out for the future. Cuz nobody wants SF to be the deep water port. More crazies there than here.

I knew there was something different about Polo.
Smells so good on the back of a warm neck on a jeans jacket. That smell brings me back to my freshman year in college. I had a crush on one of the soccer players. He was sooooo handsome. And smelled sooooo good. I hijacked his jacket for a year or so. He hijacked it back. We are still very close.
I was 17 when we met. He asked me to marry him.
I'm glad I didn't say yes.

1. Barbasol based barber tool sanitizer and post-shave astringent. Nope, not "after shave", they didn't market it as such. Astringent. This is what he smelled like when he came home after visiting the barber shop. Kids with a fresh haircut didn't smell like that, because, no astringent.
2. The Old Man's preferred of whatever was a) in the medicine cabinet, and/or b) whatever was hot on the market, then. I grew up under whiffs of 'em all. The Old Man presented best with a splash of English Leather. I inherited the Old Spice genetic type. Pro tip. Limit it to ONE drop per cheeck. Works better as a subtlety, not a nose-hammering.

I use it occasionally. You use it to dry off your skin prior to using an electric razor, like if you just took a shower and need to shave. Blade shaving, you want to moisten your skin. Electric razor (like a Norelco) you want your skin to be dry so that the hairs stand up and be cut cleanly.

Okay, honesty. I agree with you in principle. And I'd been a complete puritan on that front for all of my life.
Until...I fucked up severely a couple years ago and ended up with a .34 (yes, really) BAC once the cops found me, fortunately parked quietly at the side of the road. Augmented by some decongestants I'd taken.
No excuses.
Out from under the legal considerations now. I'm still thankful I didn't manage to do something truly stupid on what was supposed to be a trip to Home Depot.

I have a perfume called Puredistance M, smells just like my fathers old shotgun case with the big glass sliders on the front. The inside was cedar, stored Hoppes#9 and a Remington Silicone gun cloth in it that had a vanilla smell.

I guess you didn't stick around to my last sentence: "The same concept - complete sobriety - applies to all mind/mood altering drugs." To the extent there is a way to determine acute effect, sure. To the extent that I haven't had any marijuana in 28 days, yet I would still test positive for the metabolites, no. That's pointless. I do believe there are ways to determine whether somebody has used recently enough to be the same kind of thing as for testing for alcohol.

Isn't that the truth?
So many of the Gen Z (or whatever the hell they are called) have no desire to learn how to drive. It's wasn't just Little LCD, but most of his friends, too.
I think that is a huge differentiator between those over 29 and the young adults in America. A driver's license (and mom or dad's approval to take the car keys) meant freedom and adventure to me, no matter where I was going. Youngin's have their cell phones, texting, and apps to communicate. Still, it seems nuts to me they don't care so much about driving.

If you don't think that banning driving is on their list, you're the stupid one. And I'm trying real hard to *not* be offensive.
The first company to win the gubmint 'seal of approval' for autonomous cars/trucks/whatever will get fabulously wealthy. And your rights to drive will disappear in a puff of gubmint smoke.

sorry, but the legal limit is now so low, as to be ridiculous.
Trying to tell me that after TWO beers in an hour, I am not a better driver, and safer, than my 92 year old MOM, who is blind in one eye and still has a license?
I got a DUI 20 some years ago... not for driving erratically, but because I was 12 miles over the speed limit near Lake Tahoe... as tail end charlie of a line of cars. I had Two complete ales in about half an hour, after coming in second in a fencing tournament at a Ren Faire (Vahalla)... and someone had hit my elbow as I started to drink the third... which spilled it over me... so I smelled like a brewary.
Funny... we had a conversation earlier today about 'Prosecutorial discretion'.... do you know there IS NOT Prosecutorial discretion in DUI cases?

The pussy that Joe Namath got when he played was legendary.
At the end of his career, he played for the Los Angeles Rams. He also attended parties at the Playboy Mansion. He supposedly said that other than winning the 3rd Super Bowl, which as a big underdog he "guaranteed" a win the week before against the Baltimore Colts, he said the playing for the Rams was the best possible move.

Sure, I can have a beer or 2 without affecting my driving to any dangerous degree (I probably overcompensate by paying more attention), but there's no practical way for people to determine whether they're functionally impaired, let alone at/above some nominal level set by their state legislature. The 0 tolerance rule is simple to apply. That your mother drives when she shouldn't doesn't give you license (heh) to drive under the influence.

You have the freedom to drink as much as you'd like. You also have the freedom to pass out where you are, catch/hire a ride with someone else, walk, or wait until your BAC is zero. If you've only had a couple of drinks, then it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I'm all for freedom to drink and freedom to drive, just not combined. Does freedom include the guy you maimed because you were drinking hiring someone to set you on fire in revenge? Or would it be acceptable if he just had your legs hacked off like you hacked off his because freedom to drink-n-drive?

I got a little too close mowing, and the right front wheel just lid right in. I stopped on a dime and tried to back out. Right rear wheel spun and slid itself right in as well.
And there I was.
I'm out now. I managed to get it out all by myself. I had to fill the trench in a ways, though.

Having a front end loader on that tractor helped. By tilting the bucket straight down, I was able to use the loader arms to lift the front wheel completely out of the trench, then fill in dirt under it with a shovel, and fill in all the way to the read wheel. The rear wheel was wider than the trench. Had the trench been wider, I would've really been in trouble, as it would've fallen to the axle.
And I had a 3pt hitch bush hog on the back. With the aide of the scrape blade attached to another tractor, I was able to fill in the trench for a few feet in front of the 3910.
Just as I was hoping, I was able to drive it right out, once I got it filled in.

Its estimated that 40% of women are on some drug that changes their emotions.... that is scarier to me than a couple of beers.
----
There is a class of drugs for emotional distress called "SSRI's". Taken mostly by women with anxieties and depression. I personally have 2 friends who's wives have taken them (both in their 40's) and within a couple of years, have dumped their husbands and are living with old boyfriends from high school they "found" on FB. One just made the announcement that the marriage is over, Eff You, and moved across the country an old boyfriend. Who, btw, has been arrested many times and done 2 stints in prison.
Oh, and both guys confided in me that after they started using, and before the women left, the women were total horn dogs and wanted it all the time. Like, "can't you come home for lunch again today? Pleeaase?"
And then they were gone.
It isn't just alcohol that's dangerous.

Funny drunk driver story, from back in the '70s when I was a kid. Below our house, and right above my grandmother's house, was a sharp curve. There were many a wreck on that curve over the years. It was more country than it is now, and people would tend to drive to fast and that curve would sneak up on them.
When drunk, one had no chance. One night, oh around 2AM, my father heard a big crash. Some idiot had failed to even try to make the curve and had crashed his car head-on into a tree that happened to be right there a few feet off the side of the road.
My father ran down there, expecting to find a gruesome scene. It was pretty gruesome for the car, but the driver was conscious, and just had a few cuts on his face and stuff.
My father got close and from the smell, realized the guy was shit-faced. He asked him, "Are you all right?".
Dad shined his flashlight inside the cab, and saw the guy was turning the key, trying to start it. He said, "I'm okay, but thisssh damn car won't start! Can you give me a jump?"
My father said lets get you out of the car, and take a good look and you'll see why it won't start.

Yeah, Mr. Johnson's attorney isn't going to want to defend that. More importantly, Mr. Johnson's insurance company isn't going to insure him for that. Not a chance. Not at any rate Mr. Johnson can afford.

I did not cut my hair for 12 years, after I retired from the navy.... but then did for a business meeting with a retired 4 Star general who was working for Homeland Security. We were trying to sell him our security software.
Meeting went really well... He was going to buy our our company, then Obama was elected and he was out. Always wondered if the Hair made any difference or not.

Not that you asked *me*, but it's been 4 weeks since I last got stoned. That is the longest period of time, by 11 days, without THC, since I got my honorable discharge 21 years ago. And but 4 beers and 3 glasses of wine these past 4 weeks. Meh. At this point in my life, the only drug I really want is an XX.

I learned a while back (well, mid 30's) that my paternal grandfather may have been in the 'shine business, or supervised it thereof. Long story, which telling Miley delights in. I knew some older guys and was good friend with them in my '20s and '30s. They knew my grandfather. I did not. He died before I was born (heart attack -- my grandmother left his hat on a peg in her house where he put the day he died, and wouldn't let anyone touch it).
My grandadddy would've been in his late '40s when they were in their 20s and early 30s. One such fellow, in his 80s at the time, told me I was the spittin' image of my grandfather. Went so far as to say it was spooky.
One of them said something to me crazy, and I replied with something off the wall. They fell over, saying that was the exact same thing my granddaddy said.
Anyway, the old guy told me, "Now [publius], your grandmother was a pious, church-goin' woman. Your daddy and uncles take after her mostly. But you don't. You take after Mr. Grover (that was his first name). And sometime he just got enough of all that, and had to let it all hang out sometimes. Like you do."

It gets even better. Again, those who knew my paternal grandfather (and they're all dead now), told me I was the absolute spittin' image of him, looks as well as personality. I've seen an old photo of him -- I mean old, like in the 1910s when he was around 30. The resemblance was indeed striking.
Now imagine you meet an old woman, around 80 or so, when you're about 29 or so. That old woman, you learn, knew your grandfather. She had since moved off and was back visiting. Her people want to make sure she sees you, 'cause you look so much like your grandfather.
The woman absolutely acts like she knows you, and you've never see her before in your life. She's an old woman, and, if you didn't know better, you'd thinks she was sort of flirty with you. You're sort of uncomfortable, but have to be polite, 'cause she's your elder big time. She talks to you like she knows you very well. Very Well.
And then you go some mental calculations. She would've been a pretty young thing about 20 or so when your grandpa was in his late '40s or so. [continued]

In some sense it's a spiritual pause. I did A LOT of it last year, particularly after the lockdowns started and the riots began -- being a single, 52 y.o. white guy with no one, no job, nothing going on except a hernia, and no worthwhile future in sight, the only pleasure I got was getting baked and reminiscing about the art/music/writing project I was intending to get back to after Dorkie Dork (the amazing kitteh who saved 2 lives) was supposed to have a humane death 2 years ago, which didn't happen. The emotions and feelings it (THC) brought out really gave me a virtual pleasure that I want to actually attain, so it motivated me to keep going, get justice, and then get back to my creativity, "society" be damned. But I'm talking 100-200 mgs of THC where 25mg is considered fairly substantial. Not daily, but.... And AoS was a godsend.

And then you add in that everybody tells you how much like your grandfather you are, and how he liked to "have fun", and your grandmother didn't approve.
ANd you realize what a horny bastard you are, how much you appreciate a "pretty young thing", and like grandson, like grandpa.
And then your mind just stops, blanks that line of thought out, 'cause you just don't want to think about it.

You're sort of uncomfortable, but have to be polite, 'cause she's your elder big time. She talks to you like she knows you very well. Very Well.
And then you go some mental calculations. She would've been a pretty young thing about 20 or so when your grandpa was in his late '40s or so. [continued]

This is looking like Hollywood blockbuster material. Gotta be careful about casting, though. It's tricky these days.

Pretty Girl ("PG") is indeed a she. She is fully acclimated and even roams the backyard during the day. She's got a bit of a self-protective feral streak in her (I call it "getting feisty") but she really is sweet and loves to sit/lie on me. She's also a burrower -- loves to find a blanket and burrow under it. We both lucked out getting each other. : - >

And if you liked the Allman Bros at Fillmore East, this one is my personal favorite off that double album.
Mountain Jam. Instrumental. Uplifting melodies and riffs. It gives me a sense of hope and fulfillment.

Heh. Again, I just don't let my mind complete that reasoning. I've seen picture of my grandfather when he was old, many of them. And I'll look like that myself, I'm sure. But he did have a smile on his face.
And that reminds of another one. Of another fellow of my grandfather's generation. Well maybe about 10 years older. A patriarch of sort of a family that owned about 150 acres, which my father and I farmed later on.
The old man was sort of prominent. A member of the school board. They hired a young school marm for one of the old one room school house type things. This fellow, "old man Rush", put her up in his house.
Long story. Old man's wife goes away for the weekend, but comes back "unexpectedly" and catches the old man and the school marm "en flagrante delecto" in her house, in her bed. The field hands told the story. THe old man came running out of the house. The wife fired a few rounds out of a shotgun at him. She had shells in her apron pocket, they said, and reloaded.
They said she wasn't really trying to hit him, just fire over his head, 'cause she could have filled his ass with shot from the distance she first fired. {continued}

The old man went running through the rows in a cotton field. With his wife firing at him. He came back about a week or so later, they said. The school marm was moved to another school district.
And I was instructed never, ever, never ever bring that up with up with the old man's descendants.
I've never heard my grandmother firing at my grandfather, but if I let let that above line of reasoning follow through, I might wonder if it ever did happen, and others were instructed never to tell me about it. :-)

One more, before I crash. One of those guys my grandfather "mentored" was nicknamed "Spud". It involved some incident with mashed potatoes when he was a toddler. Don't know the details. But he was "Spud" ever since.
Old Spud was a character (and talked to me like an equal, 'cause I was so much like my grandfather). And had a mean streak in him a mile wide. His father was a doctor, and bought a lot of land with his wealth, and Spud never really had to work a day in his life.
He was the moonshiner, as I understood it. Now, and old man, named Harley, whose daughter was an old maid (and died that way) and was a big church lady at my family church, was sort of town gossip.
He got to talking about Spud's moonshinin', womanizing, ornery ways in town (Simpsonville, SC). Talkin' about how Spud was just a heathen and goin' to hell and all that.
Word got back to Spud about that. Now, Spud was a mean ol' SOB when he had to be. He got old man Harley down to his pasture on some pretense. {continued}

The pretense was something about Spud's cows, and he got Harley down to next to the woods (and on a ways was probably Spud's still, which my grandfather probably helped him build).
Anyway, once Spud had Harley down at the woods, he said, "Harley, I hear you've been talkin' some shit about me, and I have had enough. I'm gonna kick your ass right here and now!" And he then moved at Harley.
Old man Harley took off running across Spud's pasture. His own house place was about two miles or so away. He ran all the way home. In the process, his hat blew off his head, so fast was he running, and landed in Spud's pasture.
Spud went and picked up Harley's hat and carried it back to his house, and put it on a peg in the hall, close to the back door.
He then put the word out in town, "Tell Harley he left his hat at my place, and anytime he wants to get, he's welcome to come and get it."

Now, the true story about "Harley's hat" soon became well know in town. Anytime old Harley got to running his mouth and it got tiresome, all one would have to say was, "Harley, Spud says you left his hat over at his place, and why don't you go and get it?" Harley would get really quiet and leave.
I saw that hat at Spud's -- my father told me the story, and mentioned it to Spud when we were over there one time. Spud said that when Harley died, he thought about returning that hat to his daughter. But, he said, he figured that might be impolitic and decided to just leave it be. The hat stayed on the peg. He said that if the daugther wanted it, he'd give it to her, without question.
Ol' Spud is dead and gone many years now. I have no idea what happened to Harley's hat.

Just make sure you're not wearing a distinctive cap.
There probably aren't a half dozen caps here for my small NYC college, versus the tens of thousands of (State University)/(University of the State) caps running around.

That might be so lets do this: if a person has a warrant out on them send them a registered letter stated there is a warrant out on them and for them to contact said police dept. If there is no response after 7 days, resend it "2nd chance" stamped on the front and back of the envelope. If no response in another 7 days cut off any and all state or federal monthly funds. You will get an answer then.
