Another hot hot day. It started out odd, I got a call very early in the morning from my Mom saying that their house had been violated this morn - some kids or someone kicked in a panel or something on their garage door - police had just left. Only minor damage - but the door will have to be replaced (damaged the frame) - replace both, double garage doors. Second time in one month - they had a similar thiung happen at their lake house - verry unsettling because in both communities, they are very safe and upscale.

But most likely kids in both situations. I assured my mom that she shouldn't buy into being the victim in this - to not get overly paranoid, this is what the violators want. I think she bought it - because I myself was the victim of a home robbery/car theft a number of years ago. Fortunately no one was hurt in any of those situations...property is just that...property...stuff. Life does move on.
Work was just that - another stressful day... which made for an exciting day to all of sudden realize it's 6pm...suited up and headed out into the heat. Did almost exactly what I did yesterday - biked for an hour (it was exactly 100 degrees when I left work - heat index of over 110 degrees - stuck to a 24 miler, too dangerous to bike in this heat)..ran a few errands..came home and popped in the pool to relax.
Still dabbling here and there with settling in...while now trying to live here. I really love it. Cranked up some Coltrane while installing some new lights and peppered the place with some candle accents...how gay is that. The metrosexual inner guy came out and went boss hog on the place. Had to "guy" it up afterwards by sitting out on my deck and drinking a Coors Lite and scratching my nuts. Life is good.
