I got burgled again. They really put the effort in this time though, they had to smash in the bars intended to prevent their penetration. It's kind of staggering that the most blatant security measure was the one attempted and the one to fail and now what are we to replace it with...bigger bars? A Dog? Video Cameras? Booby traps?
Those seems like the natural home defence measures but I think instead I am going to move towards no longer owning much to covet. I can't do much about the stuff I already own but I can certainly avoid replacing the things I have lost. Cj's computer evaded the assailants which was a miracle, though we do make sure to hide it whenever we leave the house. I can live without my own computer, or a digital camera, or an ipod and eventually maybe some other things. I'll brew my own beer and sleep with this old baseball bat.
Aiya, I feel bad about it, but this stuff makes me hate Halifax. I start to resent the people I know and even half suspect them. That could make one crazy. I'm not. I don't...
I hope the West coast treats you better than the East is treating me.
A now disheveled and discomforted man,

That is super lame. I've only ever had bikes stolen, and that made me pretty mad, I can imagine having someone actually break in is orders of magnitude worse. Got a good post brewing...
