Post-Op This-N-That (Might have dropped some smarts on the O.R. floor)


Self-checkout conundrum: The replaced people are WHERE?!?  Not in any aisle where I need assistance!  Wallysmartz are slowly becoming echo chambers.  Question of the day...are all self-check items being scanned?

Cleveland police recovered Guardians manager Terry Francona’s beloved two-wheeled ride on Tuesday night after it was swiped from outside his downtown apartment this past weekend. A team spokesman said police located the scooter and arrangements were being made for Francona to pick it up Wednesday. The scooter was being stored with the Cleveland Police traffic unit motorcycles. Earlier, police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said detectives were checking surveillance video in the area. Francona, who was named AL Manager of the Year last season, has been riding a scooter from his residence to Progressive Field for years. The 63-year-old Francona, who spends the offseason in Arizona, was in Cleveland over the weekend for Guards Fest, the team’s annual winter fan festival. He noticed his scooter was missing before attending Saturday’s event. It’s common to see Francona, known as “Tito,” waving to fans as he zips around the city. The team had a bobblehead giveaway a few years ago with Francona riding his scooter. This isn’t the first time a Francona scooter has made news. At spring training in 2015, his ride was damaged when a team employee crashed it during a promotional shoot in Arizona. At the time, Francona joked that his scooter was on the disabled list.

The "olde" bod was experiencing limb discomfort.  Scans revealed an irregularity at 3-4-5, in the spine's lower neck region.  In the wee hours of 9 January, a team of crack specialists joined forces to attack, repel and repair the invaders, after a "mere" and approximate 5 hour assault.  In the words of Martha, "It's a good thing!"
