The Case of the Golden Blues
Mrs. Weston leaned back, her food forgotten. Her eyes took on that look of someone who's not looking at a where, but a when. I kept my trap shut rather than press her. Whatever she was about to say, she was digging it out of somewhere deep. "Carmen showed up at our door alone, clothed in...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
Chapter Four It was about five in the afternoon when I finished my trek up from the bus stop to the somewhat rickety but large building that was on the hill looking over the bay like a nurturing but stern mother. I could see a couple young girls being herded in by a thin woman in her sixties...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
Was it really possible? I wasn't a scientist, but it seemed like it was at least plausible. The better question, I supposed, was why was it needed? Glass is glass, and the cases surrounding the amulet and other antiquities wasn't anything really special. Hit them hard enough and they would...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
Chapter Three I woke up the next day, and felt wonderful. Then I remembered the pickle I was in, and my mood turned downright rotten. I figured out that day that there's something about facing off against a high-powered criminal organization that I know next to nothing about that really...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
Chapter Two I must've sat in that rickety chair of mine for a solid two hours, staring at that note and feeling my brain fry itself between my ears. I just kept going over it all again and again, unable to accept that some lowlife broad had played me like a fiddle. I mean, sure, I hadn't...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
"Detective Finder," said the gruff voice on the other end. I recognized the voice from the time I'd heard it a few months ago. "Yes sir, Mr. Mett. My secretary's on lunch and all my other guys called in with a case of invisibility," I replied. Maybe I should have been diplomatic, him being...- Phil M. Noir

The Case of the Golden Blues
Chapter One The fog off the bay was so thick that I was tempted to open a window and try to carve off a piece to spread on my fifty cent bagel that was more fit to be seagull bait than it was my lunch, but that was life in San Francisco. The fog played hell with honest businessfolk trying to...- Phil M. Noir

Okay wait. Only 158 of the 2,500 have to be taken down. They are also taking clippings from the cut down trees to propagate new ones -
Lucy:
one of the GOOD spiders you want around because they eat all the really bad bugs in the house. We put them outside

Did you know David Attenborough was knighted twice? First in 1985, and again in 2002

Jon Eckart:
@Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite. -

((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

Jon Eckart:
((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))

((And, thoughout this process, I want to port my number (have the info for that) and use the phone I have (Samsung Galaxy S9... gotten for free through Airtalk... note to anyone: if you choose a nice phone through them, you are locked into a 120 day "commitment" to get the phone for free, and they have a very hard data limit... once you use up your data, they cut you off, point blank.))
