  1. I have actually broken up fights as a mature woman. I am not talking about physically restraining people, but by becoming “an intrusive dingbat”. I have done this a number of times.

    I thought that I had accidentally walked in on a potential police brutality situation once. (Very insecure, enraged policeman, repeat enraged policeman and partner, shaking mad in the face of a Chinese man guy with a bicycle on the subway who the cop said had “disrespected him”.) They were alone except for the accidental appearance of me. “Excuse me, officer, I am just curious, is it OK to have a bicycle before 5 pm or is it illegal after 5 pm. I mean, I have a bicycle and I am curious I don’t want to do anything illegal.” I was enough of a distraction (and an embarassment for the cop who was out of control) that he dropped his vein bulging tirade against the guy with the bike. I have done this before too. I CAN get away with it because I am older.

  2. yes, dona, a grown man (well, physically, anyway) fight. Only one I experienced in 20+ years of NYC pick-up b-ball. Usually, my crew is pretty mellow, and we are all aging and a bit more forgiving these days.

  3. Dona, looking at a daily continuous contract futures chart, this looks like a potential head and shoulders pattern.
    Decidedly not a head and shoulders pattern until price breaks below support.
