Occasionally I’m callous and strange

judging from what i've experiened the sequence was something like:

- you trip alarm

- alarm company notices

- alarm co calls loc, you answer, talk ensues

- alarm co calls police, call set up w/ increased priority because there's someone o/s w/ no passcode

- alarm co calls yr aunt, who says "oh yeah, she's ok to be there. our code is blah blah blah"

- alarm co calls police and tells em to cancel, which is hunky dory because the ofcrs weren't exactly screaming down the street to the audible alarm

So likely a call was set up, but was cancelled before they got close enough for you to see them.

  • that's just for my neck of the woods, tho. policies could be different elsewhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cockfight Killing: Jose Luis Ochoa Killed By Armed Bird

DELANO, Calif. — A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb.

The Kern County coroner says 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30.

An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf.

Huh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

You can die due to a slash to the calf when poison's not involved? I could see if if Foghorn Leghorn managed to cut your femoral artery or something, but given that people can last more than two hours despite gunshot wounds to the torso that seems like a very unlucky set of circumstances.

And now I have to cover a coworker another day due to a family emergency. I really don't have time for this (though it sucks worse for her, clearly.) I've got a dentist appt Weds and need to get my car in for emissions. Oy.

And now I don't remember my guest security code for the alarm.

I am a nattering nabob of negativity. Sorry to inflict it on y'all.

If a major artery in the leg was slashed, that could cause one to bleed to death within two hours, right?

Points for awesome alliteration, though.
