The only thing we can`t shut off is the president. But I can at
least turn off the emergency tone (supposedly). I`ve learned
that`s one the first things I do when I get another phone = I`ve
had 5 amber alerts in 20 minutes on different devices.
Amber alerts are always associated with a license plate and
make/model. Practcially all cop cars can process 250 license
plates every minute just being on the road. How many will I note
in any given year - ZERO.
OTOH, a Silver Alert was found drowned in my back yard a decade or
so ago. They had called twice around midnight with a landline
recording. And even if I did recognize the street as the one
across the creek and up a big cliff, it`s not like I would gone
out and looked in the creek. But a helicopter was flying low over
the creek and I went down to check it out and she was paddling up
a storm when I first saw her. But then I realized she was stiff,
arms outstretched, and the wind from the helicopter blades at 50
feet above were what was making her do those logroll strokes -
turning her like a half-submerged windmill.
Anyway - What was the subject? Oh, I got my saw. I`ll make
another thread out of it. This one`s stale.
