How many have felt threatened?

The gates are taking photo's I'm told.

I will not be deterred by a perceived threat of theft.

Next time I'm there I'll stop a police cruiser and ask them directly what the risks are (the horses mouth).

I suggest if concerned try speaking to a policeman, they know.

Now can we get back to our regularly scheduled show, rather question I opened this thread with please.




.

I think it has been answered. We are now kicking all kindsa stuff around. The downside and upside of being retired.

Sit comfortably, Bill will bring you popcorn.

In answer to a new question you just posted ; "How many have felt threatened.."
Those who feel threatened will tell you why and those who feel safe will tell you why and the police officer will say that we have an exceedingly low crime rate. Some will say because we have an armed bunch of villagers. I say because we worked hard to get here and there are fewer bad guys and mostly people who have lived long enough and WORKED hard enough to make their own dreams come true without taking from someone else.

Many have brought the ways of dealing with things from their old places which were not this safe. It is hard to let go of old behaviors.
