 Oklahoman crook in Kansas sentenced to 9 years 
 An Oklahoma man was sentenced Friday to nearly nine years in prison after a series of crimes two years ago in Wichita, prosecutors said. The events unfolded when 28-year-old Taylor Kremer of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, set his car on fire in an alley after a hit-and-run crash on Nov. 16, 2018, the Sedgwick County District Attorneys Office said in a news release. Kremer then pulled a bicycle from the burning vehicle and rode down an alley. When the occupants of a nearby home followed him, Kremer fired shots at them while on the bicycle, prosecutors said. He then spotted some people on the porch of a house and ordered them inside at knifepoint. After taking cell phones from those five people, he stole a car in the driveway. Early the next morning, police saw the stolen vehicle and tried to stop it. The car crashed during a high speed chase, and Kremer ran away on foot. Police fired their tasers to stop him. Kremer pleaded guilty in September to 15 felony crimes, including kidnapping, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Moe RE: Mail from me   Dear Webby, Most mail services put mail from me into spam. I know, it is a bad habit to send memos to myself, but with advancing OldTimers Disease, I am not likely to stop doing that. How can I safeguard my memos? Moe  Dear Moe A lot of spammers have for decades forged your address as the sender address. That is why your own address is normally used as a trigger. Long before that became the default, I used MailWasher to dump mail, that had my address as a sender, but I safeguarded it. With memos to myself I added a ~ to the subject line, and filtered mail to the trash, IF it had my address as the sender, AND IF the subject line did not have a tilde. I am still using that filter. Works well. Filters let you be smarter and sneakeier than the spammers. Have FUN! DearWebby

 >From Bob I had moved to South Carolina from New York, and at that time a vehicle inspection was required to register my car. I was nervous; my car was in rough shape. I thought of New York's rigorous inspections. Any number of problems might turn up that would be expensive to fix. I drove down a country road and found a garage that had an inspection sign. When I told the mechanic what I needed, he circled the car, turned on the lights and honked the horn. Then he attached a new sticker and asked me for the three-dollar fee. I was shocked. "Is that all you have to do?" I asked. He answered, "Well, you drove it here, didn't you?" ____________________________________________ A husband and wife were involved in a petty argument, both of them unwilling to admit they might be in error. "I'll admit I'm wrong," the wife told her husband in a con- ciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right." He agreed and, like a gentleman, insisted she go first. "I'm wrong," she said. With a twinkle in his eye, he responded, "You're right!" ____________________________________________ I had forgotten to get my estrogen patch prescription refilled, and soon the symptoms of menopause -- hot flashes, forgetfulness, and irritability -- returned. At the drugstore, I found myself telling the pharmacist all about my problems. After listening patiently, he asked, "So, how many people asked you to get this refilled?" _______________________________
