Hmmm... lately I've been reading a couple Japanese authors, Akimitsu Takagi and Seishi Yokomizo, in case you're interested. (Not all set in remote places, but part of the classic murder mystery genre within a very different culture from Agatha Christie.)

Any close reading of the subject of small villages shows they were/are hotbeds of murder

Yersinia pestis.

Black Death.

Comes in 3 flavors: Bubonic, Septicemic, Pneumonic.

THE PLAGUE

(Editing to add, because I checked, NOT what killed Gene Hackman and his wife, that was another rodent sickness, hantavirus.)

That's what the peephole is for. Folks in movies and TV shows all the time opening the door and getting conked because they didn't use the peephole.

If it's a package delivery, you can open the door when they've taken the picture, that way it won't get stolen.

If it's someone you really want to see, oh sure how often does that happen? It's probably not.

By the way, it's a good idea to silence your phone as you hide there, in case they decide to call you when you don't answer the door.

If you would still like to see them on your terms, you can call once they're gone, and suggest a place to meet, not your home so you can leave when you're done.

I was hoping you were correct, but I don't think so.

Now I'm gonna feel like a heel when I drink from mine or trumpet with it (it has a screw-off tip/mouthpiece).

Although I guess I was already a heel because I assumed it was "aftermarket" (from cattle killed for beef) and I also eat beef.

They're perfectly capable of doing their job in a humane and legal way, they're choosing not to do so. Would they get fired? Maybe, but that's when you have grounds for a lawsuit or a story to sell the press.

Alas, the German Cockroaches have infested America.

We're also infested with Drumpfs/Trumps, and now King Trump has built an American Gestapo

 

And occasionally bites

 

It's not a crazier idea than most of Kennedy's. Someone should do a study. Or make one up, nobody checks anymore.

Using centripetal force puts it in trebuchet territory does it not?

 

Seems to me, calling the GOP the Right Wing contributes to their delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness. The fact it's only supposed to be "sitting on the right-hand side of the room" is lost in deliberate ignorance. Looking for a more accurate label. If you don't like these two choices you're welcome to ring in with your suggestions. Since other countries have their own versions of a Right Wing, ranging from something equivalent to the US Democratic Party to full-on fascism, y'all are welcome to weigh in on those as well.
