From yesterday's morning thread: 

In #23 Kosh's Shadow said: I have a Google Pixel 5. Has a great feature - call screening. I can have it say to the other party that I am using a screening service, and will watch it generate a transcript of the call. Many spammers recognize it and hang up.

How long until Apple does this too and claims it's this great new idea they came up with? 

Morning, campers. I don't have enough chocolate to last through the day. My extended silence may mean I have collapsed due to hypochocolatia.

Seattle firefighters attacked while tending to patient on Capitol Hill

SEATTLE — No break in the violence directed against firefighters with the latest attack coming Thursday afternoon on Capitol Hill.

A Seattle firefighter crew was treating a patient during a medical call when they said a bystander tried to intentionally slam into them with his motorized wheelchair. This incident follows months of similar assaults against firefighters and calls for action are mounting.

In #4 Occasional Reader said: Speaking of the unpleasant aspects of urban life, I had a minor but unsettling incident happen to me last night; I’ll describe it later at the frontier, since I would like to get your reactions.

So I've posted my little Story From The Naked City at the Frontier, if any of y'all are interested.  I'd certainly be interested in your thoughts about it.

Little OR already mentioned (when he was like 5) that "maybe I'll grow a long beard, like ZZ Top".  I have no idea where he got that from.

It's true that he's a big flirt, when pretty ladies are around.

Anyway, good night.
