In going to answer it, she tripped on a rug, grabbed for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table. It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver off the hook. As it fell, it hit the family dog, who leaped up, howling and barking. The woman's three- year-old son, startled by this noise, broke into loud screams. The woman mumbled some colorful words. She finally managed to pick up the receiver and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband's voice on the other end say, "Nobody's said hello yet, but I'm positive I have the right number." ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Sound travels slowly.

Homeowner Catherine Engel told police that last month she installed the trail camera inside the four-stall Vero Beach barn where her horses are kept after discovering ligature marks around one horses neck. She also recalled finding bungee cords and ropes around the neck of a miniature horse even though she never placed any on it. The camera, cops say, captured Santiago Victoria, 57, entering the barn late at night and invading a stall occupied by a horse name Mariah. During three separate encounters, Victoria gets behind the horse in a sexual manner, according to an arrest affidavit. The Indian River Sheriffs Office affidavit provides a graphic account of Victorias alleged illicit conduct inside the barn. Engel identified Victoria as the suspect, telling cops that he worked for a welding company that parks vehicles on the same property where the barn is situated. When cops Friday confronted Victoria at his residence, he reportedly admitted to having sexual intercourse with the horse, but could not remember how many times. Investigators say Victoria also acknowledged that he did not have permission to be inside the barn. Seen above, Victoria was arrested on three felony burglary charges. He was booked into the county jail, where he is being held in lieu of $75,000 bond. Victoria, who has previously been convicted of DUI and violating probation, is scheduled for arraignment on November 29. A judge has ordered Victoria to stay away from Engels five- acre Vero Beach property ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Rita Re: How many tabs are safe in Chrome? Dear Webby, Yeah, I know you told us often enough to reduce the number of open tabs in Chrome. It does not seem to make a differenc whether I use Firefox or Edge for my Chrome, or the original Google, they all bung up and slow everything down. Isn't there some program that will automatically unload the oldest tabs? Rita Dear Rita That has ben discussed at great length for many decades. The consensus is that such a program would probably dump important stuff. Just open a free spreadsheet like Open Office CALC or an ancient and now free version of Excel, drag the litle icon from the left of the URL to the next open cell in the spreadsheet, hit the right arrow for the cell to the right of it, type a comment about that site, hit right again and type a key word, if you want, hit CTRL S to save. You can use the FIND in the spreadsheet, sort alphabetically or by date, even sort by the keyword column, have all kinds of fun, and baffle all the clueless college kids with your magic. Spreadsheets are only confusing in the first 7 minutes. Have FUN! DearWebby
