New Day #130

Does having something happen twice that's never happened to you twice count as a New Thing? In this case, I think so. Because, for the first time in my life, I've had my identity stolen AGAIN.

You may recall that someone purporting to be me called Powells.com, claiming I'd been stabbed. Well, I'm lounging poolside at the aptly named InnDulge (courtesy of my friends, the owners), when I get a phone call informing me that the Faux Marco has struck again, this time at A Great Good Place for Books. Apparently, my car had been impounded with my wallet and cell phone. Would the store please wire money?

The owner, Kathleen Caldwell, got on the phone and informed the imposter she knew it wasn't me, to which, get this, he began to argue.

Say what you want, you've got to admire his chutzpah.
