Some more asshole phone shenanigans

Copy/pasted from a Facebook post I just made:

For those on my f-list who live in North Carolina, does the phone number 336-580-0665 or the name "Jim Fletcher" mean anything to anyone? I've gotten 4 calls on my cellphone from this number in the past <24 hours, and that name was one that popped up in some of the results when I plugged the number into DuckDuckGo search. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3365800665 and https://duckduckgo.com/?q=336-580-0665

My policy for when I get calls on my cellphone from numbers I don't recognize is to simply not answer them and let them go to voice mail, after which I make a determination as to whether or not I want to talk to whoever it is. If they don't leave a voice mail, as was the case here, then I decide that their calls apparently weren't important enough for me to bother with, if they didn't feel it was important enough to leave a message. And if they keep calling without leaving voice mail, I just put the number on my auto-reject list.

So, as I said, I've gotten 4 calls so far from this number in the past day. The first two were back to back around noon yesterday and the third was sometime yesterday afternoon or early evening. I don't recall exact times now because after the third such call, I put the number on auto-reject and deleted the calls from the missed calls list. Well, it's a good thing I put the number on auto-reject, because when I checked my phone just now, I saw another missed call notification showing that this jerkass apparently tried to call me yet again... last night at 2:52am. Fortunately, it didn't ring thanks to the number being on auto-reject, but still...

Another snake

Copy/pasted from Facebook:

Got another snake story, so if that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, stop reading now.

So, I was sitting here at my computer, when I just happened to look up at the window and there, on the outside of the window looking in, was a snake. Another black snake. How it got up there, I have no idea, unless it just climbed straight up the wall.

I went outside and saw it there, just bunched up under the window somehow, with its head poked up above the bottom of the window. I went inside and got the BB rifle and when I went back out again, the snake was now looking directly at me with its head below the window. I had already pumped the BB gun and, without going into graphic detail, let's just say that the snake is no longer an issue. Snake corpse removal, on the other hand, might still be an issue at some point, though. Again, I don't really like killing these snakes if they're out minding their own business, but this one, even if it wasn't actually *inside* the house this time, was still *on* the house. Near enough, at least, that it had to go. ­:/

And:

And now the corpse removal has been dealt with as well. Ugh. ­-_-
