[Let's Roll]

"I once remarked to a secretary at work: "Most people are only alive because nobody has been particularly interested in killing them". She thought about that for a while"

So true. In the more than 20 years I lived in Irving, TX, I forgot to lock my front door 2 maybe 3 times. Each time I discovered my carelessness, I was so glad that my anonymous ranch style house looked like thousands in the Dallas area - no reason to single it out by bad guy types so I was safe. Had I been singled out, a locked door probably wouldn't have stopped them.

which certainly begs the question 'why lock them in the first place' ?

actually, our doggies *like* the idea of leaving ours unlocked ...
