(no subject)

Two police officers showed up at our front door at 2200 tonight, and said they wanted to look in my back yard for a guy who might be wandering around through it. I think there was more to the story, because a plainclothes policeman showed up a minute later and two other cars a minute after that, and there were a fairly large number of people out looking through my back yard and my neighbor Ray's back yard (which are largely conterminous, though separated by a rather tall retaining wall.) That shot my interest in doing a bunch of work in the workshop.
