. . . and was now gazing at my window holding the receiver in his hand 25 yards away!&nbsp;&nbsp; Now I couldn\u2019t even answer the phone in my own house, or stand up!&nbsp; Finally he hung up and drove away, but that ended my listening to the Twins game with my&nbsp;legs dangling out&nbsp;the window.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\n<\/div>\n<p>No virus found in this message.<br \/>\nChecked by AVG &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avg.com\/\">www.avg.com<\/a><br \/>\nVersion: 2013.0.3462 \/ Virus Database: 3658\/6913 &#8211; Release Date: 12\/12\/13<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I&#8217;ve got the short one It was standing room only at the Turf Club so I took my drink with me to the can and set it on top of the urinal.&nbsp; The guy next to me comes in &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/?p=569\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=569"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1778,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions\/1778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andydawkins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
