Wesson

Several months ago my dad gave me a hand gun for protection. It's a really cool Smith & Wesson revolver from 1904, so I thought even if I never need it, it will still be a great family heirloom. I live in a really safe, quiet family neighborhood where kids ride their bikes in the streets and you don't have to worry about crime... so I thought.
Today at lunch my roommate told me that in the past month she has seen someone snooping from house to house checking each car door to see if it is unlocked. One time she was sitting in our living room while the guy was 15 feet away in our driveway. Even though I talk big about me and my gun during the day, I'm a big chicken when something wakes me up in the middle of the night. So I think we're going to get a big dog to keep him out of the driveway. But I promise you if he ever comes in the house he will meet S&W.

Yuck

I was sitting outside a few minutes ago, covered in bug spray and ready to catch up on some email when two bats started flying right over my head. Call me a Yankee or whatever you want to call me but we just don't have bats in Ohio. So then I wonder, where are these guys hanging out all day? The only place dark enough for a bat to rest comfortably around my house is in the shed. Eww.
I saw a show on HGTV one time where a lady bought a house and later found out that a huge nest of bats was living in her attic. If anyone is not afraid of dark dingy places and wants to crawl around my attic to make sure there are no bats, please let me know.
