In Littleton people spend quite a bit of money for their intruder systems. They have signs in front of their houses identifying their companies. I think this is a bit ironic because I observed this weekend that they are inviting trouble when they pull up their campers, RV, or trailers to their houses beginning Thursday and start loading them for the weekend. They do get Friday's paper but Saturday's and Sunday's papers lie in the driveway until late Sunday indicating that no one is home. If I'm an intruder, I believe early Sunday morning would be a good time to hit a house and carry out as much stuff as possible in the few minutes it takes for the alarm to alert the security companies to alert law enforcement. It would also be a good time for vandalism because the papers are a dead giveaway that no one is home.

Today Kathy and I celebrated our 41st anniversary. We ate at an Arby's (this is a long tradition and a family joke) and followed up by going to a TCBY. Love is grand.
