And that was just in summer!

(And, no, you are not old, Angel. Even I can remember when we didn't lock our doors. It was only ... umm ... oh, yeah, it might have been a while ago - now that I come to think about it. )

Not too long ago, I wasn't feeling too great (mentally or physically). Thought instead of calling older relative, would just call 911. Soon hit me that closest older relative I originally planned to "not bother" calling late at night had maintenance man at our complex knock the chainlock disconnected from my door when I didn't respond to phone calls about 7 months ago.

Also, since the bad-feeling, couldn't fall asleep, & felt "stubble" on my chin. Haven't been able to find the types of razors I've used for a while now, so went in bathroom, & trimmed nose-to-chin with what my family used to refer to as "the fingernail scissors".

Just once, I'd like the man in my bathroom mirror to look something like me.

Cabot Cove, Maine wasn't a very safe place either.

It would be great to ease off tne dependence of our technology. It is unreal now I can watch a table of 2 20-somethings having lunch together and NEVER speaking ONE word. Noses in phones and taking/sending selfies. Social dynamicz are sure changing.

Oh but would we could freeze their phones.
There was a young woman, waiting for her sandwich in the local bakers a while ago. There was a quite a queue and the serving staff were working very hard. This young woman was on her mobile phone and was not being very discrete about it; it was just young-woman gibberish (as opposed to "Yes, Fred, I'll meet you on site"). She'd been getting strange looks from just about everybody (she could have waited outside; it was good weather).

One bloke in the queue finally lost his cool and took two steps towards her. "Young lady, this is a Bakers shop, not a phone booth. That's the phone booth outside."
Fortunately, her sandwich was handed to her in quick time and she left.

I think it's a nice thing if everyone can put their phones away but I also understand that some people find it a way to deal with social anxiety.

Surely that's a question of simple practice ?

Harlem Nocturne

Oh, yes please. Those wonderful B&W films with the hard contrast and not a trace of 'luvvy-duvvy' to be seen (there was a lot of it about )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3wqTVekcZM

Harlem Globetrotters

Get your whistlin' lips goin'.

Blind Otis Lemon, everybody!

I remember seeing Meadowlark Lemon on our old TV when they came to England, many moons ago. To see the looks on the referee's face was worth it - every time.
