Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-12-2024 — Mississippi Burning

10th December, 2024: Mississippi Burning.

It’s official: I have a dentist checkup, today.

Which frankly mean I can jump with joy, once it’s over.

Or, at least, once I’ve picked up the medicated toothpaste the dentist prescribes!

Heigh … … … ho!

Remember, a few days ago, that Brian Thompson — CEO of a huge US health insurance company — was shot by a masked killer.

A suspect — 26 year-old Luigi Mangione — has been arrested in Pennsylvania, charged with possessing an, unlicensed firearm, with forgery and with providing false identification.

New York police have charged him with murdering Thompson.

Apparently?

He was found with a hand-written document that “indicated ‘motivation and mindset’”.

I’d love to know that document said.

I want to know an apparent Ivy League graduate has done this …

Hmmm … 

It’s a Sunday that I’ve got off.

And … ?

I’m off to Kent, today: to see my Aunty Bella.

Something I know I’m looking forward, to.

It has been a while!

On other fronts?

I’ve had another delivery from Amazon.

I have to give them credit for speed, certainly.

But they left it on my doorstep.

I — like many — have arrangements with Amazon: if I’m not in, they’re supposed to leave the package with a specific, named, neighbour.

They didn’t: again.

Which got me complaining.

Again!

I know it’s easy for even an experienced web user make a mistake: and wipe details from a web form.

Something I’ve confirmed I’ve not done.

I know it’s easy for a large organisation to lose basic information, on its way from a to b.

I work for a large organisation that does that, at least once a week.

Even so?

That’s the second time, in the space of a week, that’s happened: and something that also happened, last year.

Not quite what you’d expect, from the world’s biggest shop.
