Matthew's place? Just sniff around for the coffee and listen for high winds.

Sad to say. A mil-spec buddy of mine lived near Sandpoint in a ~150 yr old house. There weren't any locks even if you wanted to lock 'em. The ancient massey-ferguson tractor had no key, just an on-off. A backwards society, them rural yokels. Not smart enough to steal a MF, had to climb in the windows to burgle, like they saw in the movies...;o)

Did you ever wonder about all those anti-virus folks and how they seem to have many many updates to catch each new virus usually at a price, weekly? How do they get the jump on the "crackers" to develop the antidotes so fast...Need any tiger repellant? If I sold tiger repellant I'd need a stock of tigers to develop the need...

But then here in the city we don't have to put diapers on the chickens to keep the owls offn em.

Why one year up thar near lac Pend Orielle, the snow got so deep they had to take a dump in a shotgun and shoot it out the chimney...so I hears

Chris, the reason you can't afford a TiiCo, is clearly that you have your capital tied up in wheels tires and ladders. ;o) Sorry, couldn't resist.
