[blparent] Sneaking out of the house

Thu Jan 5 05:21:05 UTC 2012

I had a garden level apartment once, and I worried about intruders till I 
discovered a very large, very spiny and aggressive cactus outside the window 
that would have been the most likely entry point.  That cactus would have 
stopped King Kong from getting in or out.  I don't know if it was planted 
there on purpose, but I slept better because of it.

compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
