Trying again: Fuller Brush Man

Babylon Bee has good suggestions for how to get rid of the Vaccine Evangelist who comes to your door.

I found decades ago that a polite and painless way of getting rid of anyone at my front door was to smile pleasantly and explain that I don't discuss [whatever] with people I don't know well.  It goes along with Miss Manners's advice to answer impertinent questions with "How soon do you need to know?"




* I have no idea how Blogger could have let me sign in as Grim . . . ?

  1. I don't know either, and I can't sign in as you or anyone else. Everyone has their own login, and there's no option to change the author in the Blogger system that I can find. It's a very strange error.

  2. The only thing I can think of that was different yesterday was that I signed in for the first time with my new laptop. I remember expecting to have to fight with the log-in system, because for some reason the data migration process loses cookies, and being pleasantly surprised that it let me right in. I didn't notice what i.d. it assigned to me. That is one strange bug in a security system, which normally errs on the side of making it ridiculously hard to get in and post, refusing to recognize perfectly good passwords, and so on.

  3. Maybe run as deep a scan as is possible with your anti-malware software, if you haven't already. There may be malware that bypassed Apple's security, or Alphabet's (which owns this blog's software).

    Last time I bought a Hewlett-Packard laptop (and I do mean the last time), it was shipped to me straight from the Shanghai factory, which I thought at the time was pretty cool until my paranoid self ran a deep scan with my anti-malware software on GPs before I connected the laptop to my LAN. The software found a Trojan that could only have been installed at the factory.
