Give Me My Money !

When a collector contacts a debtor the collector should always ask for the money. I remember when I was a young aspiring collector. The more seasoned collectors would always tell me "Ask for the money."

When I owed fines, Alameda County Central Collections was certain to go after its money.
Now the tables have turned. It is me who is asking the collector for the money.

I followed up with my previous telephone call to a collector at Alameda County Central Collections. The ones who erroneously sent my deceased father's fines to the California Franchise Tax Board and had MY tax return intercepted. You ass! I want my money!

I wrote a letter to the individual and demanded a refund, either from Central Collections or the Franchise Tax Board. I really don't give a damn who gives it to me, I just want my money!

I'm doing what a good creditor should do, ask for the money. Bitch! Give me my money!

That buffoon in Central Collections doesn't know that I used to be a collector. Come hell or high water I will go after my money.

Out Camping

We all just got back from a weekend of camping. We left early Friday afternoon and returned this  afternoon.

It was great! It was sunny and hot. Maybe even a bit too hot, at least for me. I couldn't even get a good nap during the day due to the heat. All I did is just lay there and sweat.
 
The first night I slept in my tent. I heard some fluttering late at night but I couldn't figure out what it was. I simply went back to sleep. The next evening as I was getting ready to go to sleep I noticed a hoard of small white bugs in my tent. They were fast and I saw some of them jump. WTF! What are these things? There were so many in my tent I gave them the tent and I slept in my vehicle.

This morning as I was taking down my tent I saw a green grasshopper under one of the tent covers. Surprisingly it didn't want to leave. I tried scaring it away but it didn't leave. Eventually I pushed it away.

I was also stung by a wasp. That was strange. I have not been stung by a wasp in the past and I haven't been stung by a bee in over 40 years. But it hit my thumb joint too close to the bone so the stinger didn't go in deep. I felt the pulsing pain for just an instant. Yeah, it couldn't sink its stinger deep enough.

Despite these two mishaps I had a great time. I'm getting ready for the next camping trip.

That Hat

I didn't get to attend today's Warriors parade. I had to work and I wasn't about to ask for any time off. I have a camping trip coming up and I already asked for time off for that weekend.

I wasn't too bummed out though. I attended the first Warriors parade a few years ago. It was pretty awesome. Hundreds of thousands of people attended that event.

Sitting here watching the news was interesting. Curry was wearing a sun hat just like the one I have! Hey! He has my hat! I thought to myself. It's just like mine with the chin strap and all. I bet he got it where I got mine, but I ain't telling you where. I'll be wearing my sun hat to our camping trip soon.

Lunatic

That word (lunatic) comes from the word Luna, the Latin word for moon. Luna also means moon in Spanish. And lunatico means lunatic in Spanish.

Lunatics are people who are affected negatively by the moon's phases, specially the full moon.

The moon has a definite gravitational pull on bodies of water such as our oceans. It's the moon's gravitational pull that causes the low and high tides, just depending on where the moon is.

Water makes up to 60% of our bodies. So there's no doubt in my mind that the moon's gravitational pull has an effect on our bodies and emotions which often times surfaces as lunacy during a full moon.

Full moons also affect those shape-shifters known as werewolves.
