I discovered this last night past about three AM when I went for my daily peruse and walk through the area in which I live. I am generally armed with just a forty five auto and a skinning knife. I am old school; not much can threaten me with my chosen weaponry. I also carry a million candle power flashlight which I usually keep at one tenth power to warn off approaching cars, but when I need to dazzle someone/blind someone I can do so at the flip of a switch.

All seemed quiet. BUT ...

I have a neighbor who is sitting in his lawn chair all night with a loaded shotgun at the ready.

He has been "on watch"  for four days, because his house was broken into and things were stolen, like microwave, stereo, TV, even fucking groceries.
I talked to him, some, but there was no bringing him down from sitting watch.

He is actually an alley neighbor, who lives on a busy street. One block over is a nightmare of a ratrun around town. I am concerned, not so much about him sitting watch with a loaded shotgun at all hours of the night (actually I applaud him and his efforts), but the reality of having "big city" shit come onto our small town is very disturbing.

ALREADY!!!  REALLY!!!

Metal detecting at the beach...

5 bottle caps
2 tent stakes
1 sparkler wire
2 pop tabs

...and a quarter in the hotel parking lot when I was walking up to the room to get the detector.  :headbang2:

1 Artificial tree
Body by Jake Ab scissor machine, with instructions and assembly wrenches boxed up nicely on top.
Weider ab shaper
Brass lamp
A big box labeled "Kirby" containing a Kirby rug renovator system....still no Kirby.

They are teasing me. :bigcry:

Oh well, hopefully my son and I will have nice abs by next spring. :eyebrows:

Could have had my own home gym with all the exercise equipment I passed up.

My kid fell in love with a strange print of some old painting at the church sale...labeled as an Art gallery rental, Hubbard 1969 on back, dreary looking thing that I am clueless about. Will take a picture of it hopefully tomorrow.
