Dear So and So

Is there any police patrolling in Portland Oregon! The DD has now lived there for 4 1/2 years and last night her car was broken into for the 4th time! All in different neighborhoods and not necessarily sketchy. This time they smashed out the passenger window but someone must have scared them off as they only got a cell phone, whew and two bikes and two computers were also in the car. The DH told her she should consider stripping everything out - like the radio and just leave it unlocked from now on...

Please tell your DD to not leave anything in the car. That's just inviting trouble, seriously. Car break-ins happen no matter what the neighborhood is like when there are valuables inside.

Dear Life, Universe, Whatever You Are,
Wow, you sure do come in bursts, don't you? Pretty incredibly positive stuff going on. I know the pendulum swings, but right now, it's swinging my way. And no, I won't give in to superstitions and downplay the good in my life in hopes that will repel the bad. Doesn't work that way. Live life, whatever it brings.
