excitement and accomplishment

yesterday my neighbor Carl expressed his concern about a white lexus parked across the street for more than a week. also because once someone got out of the car and walked around the corner and got into another vehicle. so he called the police and they came and put on one of those electronic bugs. today, the car left and returned. when it got back, Hannah called me to invite me outside where there were 5 or 6 unmarked (or personal) cars and 10 police officers. they had nabbed the suspect. found out the car had been stolen at gunpoint over a week ago. that he was a real baddy-baddy, lived nearby and this was just a convenient quiet place to park the car which he occasionally used on not good business. so one team was one duty and the other teams came down in full gear and they got him. they were very happy. pretty exciting.

technological excitement: Julia told David how to do a skype conference call, so they two and Audrey and I talked for a while (and i stepped out to check on the police activity outside).

now as i was typing, Aud called on the house phone, Jeremy on the cell, and then Adam skyped.

Jeremy called to invite me to dinner, so i will miss CBS 60 minutes tonite analyzing the Obama strategy.

got the mattress rotated, bed heater plugged in, furnace filters replaced, some of the heater vents vacuumed, and ready for winter!!

off to dinner
