Good Morning, !
It's Wednesday, June 29
Had a bit of a scare today. My car has a different key for the
ignition, because the lock wore out a couple of years ago and the
mechanic could not be bothered to key the replacement lock to
the old key. So I have the ignition key on one key ring,
and the trunk key on another one.
As I was putting my two July bags of groceries into the trunk,
somehow the trunk key slipped out of my hand. By the time I
got into the car and realized, what must have happened, it was
too late.
My house key is also on that ring. So, when I got home, I had
to burgle into my house. I did find a spare trunk key and got
it open.
No key ring visible.
Instead of panicking, I decided to put the groceries away.
Finally, at the very bottom of the second bag, there was the
key ring.
After that, I sure was tempted to sit out in the shade and wind
and have a smoke to celebrate, but decided to sit out there
and NOT smoke, was a bigger celebration.
Have FUN!

patch and after expertly tripping himself, he fell flat on his
face.
As he was lying there, a woman stopped her car and called
out, "Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine," he said, as he was trying to regain his
composure and plan a way to exit without beeing seen by
too many people.
"Oh, good," she continued. "Will you be vacating your
parking space any time soon?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Natasha Larson, 34, Bradenton, Florida
Wife Busted For Craigslist Harass Of Husband’s Ex
JUNE 24--In a bid to harass her new husband’s former wife,
a Florida woman placed a phony ad on Craigslist that purported
to seek men willing to stop by the ex-spouse’s home since
she needed “to be thrown around a little bit and to be
dominated, that is exciting for me.”
The ad, placed in February, resulted in a stream of unwanted
suitors arriving at the home of Tracy Wilder, who also received
phone calls and text messages from unknown men who said
they were replying to “an ad on Craigslist in the casual
encounters section ‘women4men,’” according to a Bradenton
Police Department report.
One man who called Wilder said that he had replied to the ad
and had exchanged e-mails with someone using the address
wilderthnuno@gmail.com. During that correspondence, the
man said, he was provided with Wilder’s home address and
phone number.
He also gave Wilder a copy of the original Craigslist ad, entitled
“Adventerous Couple,” which claimed that, “I also like to take
charge sometimes but I need a strong man to keep me in check.
My boyfriend Matt lives with me but he is open to my need to
explore.”
After Wilder contacted police, investigators subpoenaed records
from Google for the wilderthnuno@gmail.com e-mail account.
The documents revealed that the account was created on
February 18, the day the fake Craigslist ad was posted. Google
also provided the IP address from which the account was created,
which resulted in the subsequent issuance of a subpoena to
Verizon for subscriber information corresponding to that IP number.
Verizon records showed that Wilder’s ex-husband, Donald Larson,
had been assigned the IP in question at a Sarasota address.
During the execution of a June 15 search warrant at the home,
Natasha Larson, Donald’s wife, admitted posting the phony
Craigslist ad in Wilder’s name. Additionally, Larson, 34, “admitted
that she had spoken with several unknown persons’ through e-mail
inviting them to meet her at the victim’s home address for a sexual
encounter and giving out the victim’s personal cell phone number.”
As a result, Larson--pictured in the above mug shot--was arrested
yesterday and charged with criminal use of identification
information, a felony. She was released from custody after posting
$1500 bond.
The police report does not indicate why Larson targeted her
husband’s former wife, though investigators did note that when
Wilder first contacted cops about the fake ad, she did say that
she suspected Larson was responsible for the Craigslist posting.

Re: DropBox and SugarSync
Webby,
Fanny could also use something like Dropbox or Sugarsync.
These are free, secure, and much easier to use than a thumb
drive, plus you don't go off and forget it! It's also better than
having to upload to a web site. All you have to do is drop a
file into Dropbox or Sugarsync and the rest is automatic.
Files are then accessible on multiple computers if that's what
you want. Might work for Fanny and others. I have found
both to be very helpful.
Bill
Dear Bill
Drop box and Sugarsync are rather limited, and unfortunately,
they do tend to lose stuff.
The dumbest thing one can do is shift-drag pictures from a
camera onto drop-box.
It will delete them from the camera quite reliably,
but they don't always wind up in their drop box.
Even my own father did that,
but only once.
With a web site, you drag them there, as if you were
dragging them to a different folder,
and you see them at the destination.
Plus you can edit files. The server is just a computer in
addition to the ones at work and at home.
You are in control of your filing, and you can set up any
file structure you want for permanent and semi-permanent
stuff. It's a whole class more versatile than a drop box.
Have FUN!

At the exclusive restaurant where I work, a party of diners
was exhausting the waiter with relentless demands. Through
it all, he remained professional.
Finally, after leaving a very meagre tip, one of the patrons
asked the waiter to take the group's picture and insisted on
giving him all kinds of instructions, since this was a once
in a lifetime family reunion.
He smiled and took a lot of pictures. He used up the rest of the
film in the old fashioned camera.
Each picture showed the entire group quite nicely,
from the neck down.

Simple Ways to Conserve Water
I decided I was tired of standing at the sink running the
water down the drain, while I waited on it to change to hot
water to use. My goodness what a surprise I had when I
used a pitcher to catch the water! I was wasting almost a
gallon every time I was waiting on the water to get hot.
Now I keep a pitcher nearby, and I save the water to use
during the day.
