Night Visitors


Newspaper story this morning about a police public service project in Lakeville, MN. Police canvased the town at night looking for open garage doors. They left notes on the doors of residents who had not secured their valuables or left doors open. One resident had his garage door open and the keys in his ignition. Police noted the house door was ajar and quietly entered suspecting a possible crime scene. The owner was awakened at 3:00am by police shining a flashlight in his face. He was not happy. He was not very smart either. He was lucky it was the police but he will probably call his attorney this morning.

We began to think we had a night visitor or stalker at our house. On these nice cool summer mornings we have coffee on the deck in the morning. Twice we noticed green fuzz on some of the chairs. Was it from the trees? Pollen? It didn't look organic. It looked like it was from someone's clothes. Night visit from The Incredible Hulk? Then a smile crept across Jon's face. "What color is my bathrobe?" he asked. He was coming out at night to smoke in his dark green terry robe.

I'll double check tonight that the garage door is closed and the front door locked. Not sure what I can do about that nighttime smoker but I think I will wash that shedding robe.
