10-13 is radio code speak for "advise weather and
road conditions".
Today is the birthday of former Wilsonite and friend, Mike Bastian. Happy Birthday Mike!!
I got my Alert 1 and hooked it up yesterday. The phone hooks into the
machine and the machine hooks into the phone line. I pushed the button on the
bracelet and Jaden answered with, "Susan Maxwell do you need help?" I told him
it was the test as I just hooked it up. He verified my information, address etc.
Really nice. So, if I fall down and can't reach my wine or have a heart attack
in bed, push the button, they will call Brian and tell him to come check on me!
Or if he doesn't answer or suggests they do... they will call 911. I feel much
better now. A big sigh of relief. The machine is on my desk..
But... since I have Bruiser who climbs on everything in the house except
the kitchen counters.. I put a basket over the machine so he can't step on it
accidentally and set it off!
....and yes you ancient deputies... that is an old LASD flashlight! It's a
Bright Star No. 1626 and says Property of Los Angeles County. When I went to
turn it in, they just said, keep it! They didn't need any antiques!
You want to read how left-wing stupid Gwyneth Paltrow
is....

mouth!

Columbus Day Observed
Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12, 1492. Now.....
the extreme lefties in Seattle have changed the name of Columbus Day to
"Indigenous People's Day".
GAWD!!!! The lefties want to change everything in this
country that we have loved and revered. They want no more flag salutes, no God
in anything, and they want to run every corner of our lives! Excuse me while I
puke!
