It's a valid question. I don't have the answer to that.

Another "odd" occurrence was yesterday - someone had one of those remote-control cars, they're only around a foot long and 6 inches high - and was zipping it back and forth across the road at the corner at Spanish Springs Town Square. And this was a pretty busy night last night. Up the sidewalk, across the road to the other sidewalk, and back. Over and over again. I watched it from a distance while I was waiting in line for a drink. By the time I got back to my seat the guy was gone. Otherwise I would've looked for a Community Watch person or police officer to ask him to take that thing to the back of a parking lot where no one could trip over it or run it over and puncture their tire - or freak out a dog who might not realize it's -not- some weird metal cat.
