Life’s embarrassing Moments
Apologies I don’t know how to link an article or video like some of the more learned members here, so I’ll give you the short version.
A Riverside Sheriff Swat Sgt. was observed on his cell phone scrolling through a dating app from a news camera crew flying overhead. They zeroed in on him checking profiles on the app. Now mind you this is at the scene of a very long car chase in which the driver crashed his vehicle into a wall, was refusing to get out of the vehicle and in the end apparently took his own life. I can only imagine this scene would be very exciting, my juices are flowing and I’d have the overwhelming urge to be with someone so I couldn’t resist myself. I can only image one dating app i would turn to, and yep you are correct. But what if he had something already set up? Now he’s scrambling to get out of it without any negative consequences. So I’ve thought of some excuses for him.
1) Sorry just got called into work, can I reschedule and get my deposit back
2) Boy there are a lot of cops around your place , pic goes here,I’m afraid can I get my deposit back
3) Looks like I am going to be 24 hours late, you are ok with that right I’m not canceling I’m late.
4) Might be a little late hun, I hope you don’t have any allergies to tear gas, OC spray or pepper balls and maybe some gunshot residue. It’s not bad after a while.
5) Just got pulled over by a whole boatload of cops, insert pic, please forgive me it is not my fault, I am gonna sue.
It doesn’t help this knucklehead that his boss is running for governor.

Calif Vehicle Code 21809
The new and improved “Move Over Law”. So you are traversing down the highway on your way to a meeting with a simply beautiful person. You always have that nagging sense that your vehicle might break down or you’ll get a flat. Well the flat actually happened to me a couple weeks ago luckily I was able to park in a rather busy shopping center and since I was only .02 miles from the meeting location and I needed the exercise I walked no problem. This meeting location had shower facilities so that wasn’t an issue. But what if my flat caused me to stop on the shoulder of the roadway or highway.
Under the new move over law ANY vehicle stopped on the roadway displaying hazard warning lights or any other means indicating that vehicle is disabled any approaching vehicle must SLOW DOWN (if safe to do so) and MOVE OVER ONE LANE(again if safe to do so).
If you are cited for this the fine can be above the $250 range with penalty assessments and other fees tacked on and it’s a one pointer on your record.
So let’s talk scenario here. Cops are using those gray stealthy Durangos on the 10 fwy. They pull over a traffic violator. With the Durango is an even stealthier motor cop. You drive on by thinking about your upcoming meeting that awaits you at the next exit and you make no attempt to slow down or move over. You are now a 2fer.
Something else to be aware of.

Your personal information is out
Hx is really good about keeping one’s personal information out of the limelight. I’ve noticed that if someone authors a blog which has personal names, personal phone numbers, criminal records or any other identifying information it’s usually removed pretty quickly and I think we all appreciate that.
Now in my former life I was a NIGHT AGENT for the President (you know like the hit series on Netflix?) . So my personal information was automatically blocked from those sinister forces that might want to do me harm. However, since I’ve retired I’ve noticed that a lot of information about me (and maybe you) is out there that is NO ONES FRICKING BUSINESS!
Now there is one great advantage to live in California. It allows you to contact the poster of your personal information and have it removed. So how do find out if you have any information posted about?
Here goes #1 enter any of your phone numbers in google search engine and see what pops up.
#2 enter your address in your search engine and see what pops up. If you own your home you will be shocked at the personal info that’s out there. And
#3 enter your name and any variations of your name and see what pops up.
How to remove the info . Each site should have a support contact or an OPT-OUT contact. Follow the directions . The first time I did this it was tedious because I’m old and out there. Now I do it every six months and usually find one or two sites that have posted my stuff. You’ll also be surprised that anyone associated to your address or phone number will also be listed.

License Plate Readers
I just read a very interesting article on the use of stationary (fixed) license plate readers that are currently in use in many California cities and some of you (myself included) were not aware of this law enforcement tool. Now we’ve all seen the cops cars with a cornucopia of antennas and sensors inundating their cars. Some of those items are license plate readers. So how do they work. A stolen vehicle’s license plate is entered into the stolen vehicle law enforcement data base. Officer Jones is just finishing up his double double burger and begins to pull onto the street when an alarm in his vehicle alerts him that a stolen vehicle just passed one of his scanners. His on board computer will tell him the direction of travel, full description and any other pertinent information.
SmartK9 has felony warrants (hypothetical people I got them all cleared up and did my time ALSO A JOKE) He is known to drive a particular vehicle. His license plate is entered into the database of wanted fugitives and I am toast or anyone driving my vehicle.
So your community MIGHT be installing these cameras on street light poles traffic signal poles, high crime rate area poles etc. Now they are recording constantly but only alert on vehicles entered into the database. So it allows law enforcement to look for suspect vehicles, a witness or a victim
Victim of human trafficking is known to be in a particular vehicle. That vehicle license plate
Is entered into the system and eventually stopped.
Also just an fyi at the border crossings license plated readers have been used for years along with facial recognition cameras.
Hope you find this of interest.

Pre Prostate Cancer diagnosis procedure.
I’ve had multiple messages asking me about the procedures I went through before I got my actual results.
Early last year
Annual physical with PSA blood test
Results “Elevated” PSA level 12
Confirmation PSA test also level 12
Now I’m worried
Schedule appointment with Urologist
Month later see him super nice guy and now I know why, he was about to have his way with me and it cost him nothing, no dinner, no gift, I couldn’t even get a positive rating out of him.
Conducted a DRE. DIGITAL RECTAL EXAM. Dropped my pants, my chonies, grabbed the cell door bars in front of me (oh wait that’s what i envisioned sorry PTSD moment) heard the latex gloves go on with a snap then the lube being squeezed out of the tube.
Steps behind me and off to my left side and places his left had on the small of my back. I cinch up tighter than a gnat’s ass because I now realize exactly what’s gonna happen. He leans over to me slightly and tells me, “you need to relax” I’m sure my voice was two or three octaves higher when I responded, “easier said than done”(I wanted to call him Bubba but i figured i better play nice)
It seemed longer than it actually was and honestly it was very very uncomfortable. When he was done and I was cleaned up (which i had to do myself with no warm moist towel provided geez) he told me, “I felt something you will be scheduled for a biopsy go see my staff”
Now I’m scared
Two weeks later PROSTATE BIOPSY
Now the staff tried to minimize this procedure because if you actually knew what you consented to you’d run for the hills. First of all you are wide awake lying on your side in the fetal position with your bare butt exposed. Numbing gel is applied to the out side of your rectum. The doctor inserts an ultrasound wand along with a spring loaded punch. Using the ultrasound he finds you prostate and using the spring loaded punch he proceeds to punch through your rectum wall into your walnut sized prostate not once but 12 times. It was white knuckle painful. When done your are bleeding out your butt( they give you maxipad) for 2-3 days you are pissing blood for 2-3 days and you have blood in you semen for 2 months.
Two weeks later RESULTS
Now I.am relieved I can tell my family
Dr. nonchalantly but very professionally tells me I have prostate cancer and schedules me for an MRI and bone scan
After those are completed and it’s been 4 months since my initial PSA test my cancer has not spread it’s confined to the prostate. It’s an aggressive form of cancer however it was caught early and totally survivable with treatment and life long monitoring.
I’m lucky….you've been told this by me and others get yourself checked. You are correct when you feel your “manhood” is disappearing in front of your eyes. I was depressed the hormone treatment the radiation it all and still does effect me. But during this whole ordeal I have been with some very compassionate and understanding providers and I call them friends . Don’t despair and don’t give up.

Savannah Bananas Petco Park
I got invited today to the above venue and what I got was a total entertainment experience. The baseball game was good but the pregame and the during the game entertainment was just plain family fun. You know how when you are at a “professional” baseball game music is turn off until between innings . Not at all with Savannah Bananas baseball the rock music is blaring the entire game. Fans are standing and sitting just rocking out. Dancers on the dugouts roofs and a guy on a motorized surfboard traversing the outfield. Between innings dancers, contests and other activities it’s great family fun. The game started at 3 pm and is over basically 2 hours later no matter what inning the game is in. “Banana Savannah” baseball rules apply make it really enjoyable.
Although the game started at 3pm the pregame activities started at 10am with players from both teams signing autographs and pic taking, live music and dancers are all part of the act. It was just good fun .
If you haven’t been think about it . The Bananas played the Coconuts today with the Bananas winning in a nail biter.

St. Patricks Day approaches just who was he.
Being Irish (mostly) myself I try to know a little bit about my heritage. Some of you may already know what I’m going to say, others might find it interesting and still others might just say, “who cares get me another green beer.”
So who was the real man this St. Patrick?
Well for starters he wasn’t Irish. He was a Roman/Brit.
At 16 he was kidnapped by pirates and sold on the slave market in Ireland. There is became a sheep herder till he escaped back to Britain in his early 20s.
Once back in Britain he entered the church and rose to the title of Bishop. He then returned to Ireland to spread Christianity throughout the country.
The 3 leaf clover is said to be popularized by him since it is said he used the 3 leaves to explain the holy trinity. There is actually no proof of that but it makes for a feel good story.
His color was blue not green. Green became the recognized color of Ireland much later
Technically he wasn’t a Saint either. Saints must be canonized by the church to achieve Sainthood. That procedure did not exist when St. Patrick was alive. So by popular decree he’s a Saint. As with all Saints their day of their deaths is a religious holiday to speak so we have March 17.
One last thing his name wasn’t Patrick. His true name was.Maewyn Succat. Put saint in front of that and well just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Calif Vehicle Code 23123.5
My apologies if this has been addressed already in a previous blog. I did a blog search and did not find anything.
Recently a couple family members were cited for “Holding or Touching a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle in violation of the above section. Both times these desperados were stopped at a red light, picked up their cell phones, looked at it and put it back down. As they are pulling forward a sneaky, stealthy motor officer pulls them over issues a citation which carries about a $150.00 fine with all the court cost added etc.
This became law last year in my research your phone must be mounted in a stationary position where you can only swipe or one touch. You can’t even hold in your while the phone is off. It must be mounted on your dash or windshield.
I have a bad habit of looking at my phone when stopped and I’m sure others do as well. The only time you are allowed to use your phone while operating a motor vehicle is for an emergency or calling 911.

California still has Daylight Savings a gentle reminder
This Sunday March 8th is another daylight savings event. For those of us who don’t have internet based time pieces and must manually move our watches/clocks forward an hour hopefully this reminder might be appropriate. A very simple adage applies here if you, like me, can’t remember if you gain or lose an hour.
SPRING FORWARD (lose an hour)
FALL BACK (gain an hour)
So take the time change into consideration when scheduling any of those appointments.

Post Prostate Cancer Treatment Residual Effects
In October my radiation treatments ended however I was still suffering through the hormone LUPRON therapy. Early December I had my first labs which showed my prostate cancer was not measurable in my system (not totally eliminated but effectively gone), my testosterone level was 15ng where the average healthy male has 222ng to 775ng in their system. Chemical Castration is defined at having a testosterone level of 20ng and below.
I just had my 4 month lab work. It’s been 5 months since my last radiation treatment and 32 days post LUPRON being active in my system. LUPRON was given to me in August one single shot that last 6 months, 180 days. So the end of January was the 180th day, but who’s counting. Why is LUPRON given? Prostate cancer feeds off of testosterone LUPRON suppresses the production of testosterone. Women are also given LUPRON for certain types of breast cancer.
So where am I at today? LUPRON is still in my system and it will take four months to a year for recovery and the hope of a decent sex life (for me). My current testosterone level has rocketed to (drum roll here please) 17ng! I have hope because it has increased.
So my advice to those males here that are facing Prostate Cancer in their futures. And you will . Early detection is obviously key here. Get your PSA done yearly. I had a PSA test of 4 two years later the results were 12. Yes I was shocked. No symptoms just the PSA test telling me the bad news. Hormone therapy is common now. I would suggest you get a testosterone level check before treatment so you have a baseline. I did not because I did not know.
Any questions you know I’m here for you. In dealing with this bitch cancer we are all friends.
