We're next!

Our street is experiencing a rash of home robberies. 4 in 2 weeks and Mary Jo and Keith got hit last night when we were at bowling league. The person (we think it was just one based on certain facts) came in through a bedroom window and snagged their laptops and not much else. Well they also got keys to their car and someone else’s house. In all cases, they take keys, coins and small electronics like cameras and laptops. A neighbor saw a guy coming out from behind their house with a garbage bag about the same time. In another case, someone was home and scared the person/people off and the mailman saw a dude running down our street that doesn’t live here. The other was the “Joes” on a day I think we were at the skatepark. All these are in daylight pretty much. We are next in line. They could have already tried for all we know. Kali does bark at strange noises and our house isn’t exactly easy to get into but we’ve added a “Beware of Dog” sign and some of the other neighbors are adding security features such as cameras and such. It just so happens though that there’s a new neighbor on the other street that started waving at us as we drive by lately. Now you would think “oh just a friendly guy” but Keith invited him over last week for a meeting type thing and Mary Jo investigated him on the internet and he’s got a rap sheet a mile long for robbery and mentioned being somewhere for awhile where he memorized the Old Testament…would that be, say, prison? There’s a lot of Bible studying in there and he mentioned that they won’t be living here long. Not to point fingers but all seem to be pointing to him. Everyone’s pretty freaked out and I am now sleeping with a weapon and backing up my hard drive.

In the world of orthodontics I am now purple with only a powerchain on the bottom (to close those pesky gaps) and regular ligs on top. I got stepped up in the elastic department to Sea Lion which is a smaller, thicker one to get my stubborn midline into line. I noticed my front teeth aren’t the same length but Dr.I said since they are even on the gumline, he will just shape them when all is said and done.
