I see my comment was erased thats very sad that this side of town doesn't matter as much.... Everyone should be treated equally

Wrong assumption, Flowerchild. I erased your comment by accident. I was trying to merely erase the dozens of dupes and leave the original, but I accientally hit the erase button one too many times.
Please feel free to re-post, preferably just once this time.
And just for the record, I have no idea what you mean by "this side of town." I have no idea what part of town you call home, nor does it matter one whit to us. We have readers in all parts of town and value them equally.
Please don't make an inadvertent slip of the finger into some sort of evil conspiracy. Post away at your pleasure.

We have surveillance systems inside and outside of the house, garage, and in our outbuildings. Alarm systems on all our vehicles, our home, and outbuildings. We have dogs and firearms as well.
Sadly, this doesn’t seem to be enough these days.
