Dave...I still owe you an apology from the comment I made to you last week.
I apologize.
Now,  we have alot of breakins in my neighborhood because it is a nice
neighborhood.  Mostly lawn companies driving through and stealing stuff.  I
am on the neighborhood watch, I mow about 7 old folks yards every week or
two and I take care of the subdivision entrance(painting, mowing, trimming
trees, etc)  What i will not put up with is someone coming into my place and
messing with my stuff.  if you need something, ask me.  You'll most likely
get it.  I even give stuff to listmembers for free.
There are home invasions in San Antonio almost every day.  I have loaded
firearms in EVERY room that i can get to quickly because I am not a sucker
and I know how to use them. I will not apologize for potecting my family and
what is mine.
I do appreciate your comments, though and, again, I apologize for my comment
to you last week.  Have a good weekend.
BTW-Will get an alarm tomorrow(I want one of those that puts 50K volts in
someone who tries to break in, in case anyone knows where I can get one of
those.  hehehe
