Steve, I never thought of it that way, but can see how it would make sense to
leave the car unlocked. It sounds like you all are right in the middle of it,
at least from one perspective. I can't imagine how it must feel there. Find
myself wondering if the holidays and colder weather will change the situation
significantly. Wondering too if people are struggling financially, always
harder at this time of year.

part of our business is selling industrial and hardware supplies. one of
our customers took delivery today of two tractor trailer loads of plywood and
other lumber, (not through us, although we sold them other things). We also do
business with one of the police departments, who had rush orders today of
supplies pertaining to possible contingencies, and we have been told to be on
standby.
I don't think my son's incident was related. As I've mentioned before, our
business is located next to many service organizations, (where my son has his
apt), so he probably had some coins visible.
I told him to be more careful, or just leave the danged car unlocked!
A policeman lives behind us, and we talk to him regularly. He says he never
locks his car for that very reason.

Steve, I've seen some headlines about it but haven't read the articles.
Something about the policeman maybe resigning. Is there still a lot of unrest
going on? How have you all been involved? Do you think that the incident with
your son's car was part of some spillover from Ferguson?

Thanks Share.
I feel remarkably refreshed, coming off a busy week.
You might be shocked at some of the preparations going on for Ferguson, some of
which we've been a part of.

Steve, actually I wasn't thinking about you when I made my initial comment
about unhealthy ganging up. But I was rushing and again replied too briefly
when I responded to your comment about being pretty healthy. It sounds like you
have a rich and real human life which I think often enriches us here on FFL.
Hope you and your wife had a lovely time this evening.

Share, I have plenty of issues. Just a few minutes ago I was thinking about
the person who smashed the window in my son's car a couple days ago, for what
was probably less than a dollar worth of coins.
I think if I had caught that person in the act, I would have gotten quite
violent with him.
So, it made me wonder how much built up anger I have in me.
I know my job is quite demanding, and this also can cause of build up of stress.
But I try to keep all that front and center and deal with it in an intelligent
way.
Like right now, I plan on taking an afternoon meditation, and this evening go
out to dinner with my wife.

Share, evidently you do have a different take on it.
I'm looking at my experiences day in and day out, and I'm feeling pretty
healthy.
What you may see as ganging up, may be for other people, just sort of laughing
at how ridiculous someone else can be.
At this point, I'm not sure how serious anyone can take Barry.

Steve, I don't mind when people confront turq one on one. But I really don't

very unhealthy to me, mainly for the people doing it.

A good question Share.
Here's the short answer. There is a time for compassion to be shown, and a
time to address BS head on.
I am bothered by the continual mis-perceptions Barry throws out here, and feel
compelled to address them.
Pretty much as simple as that.
That, and the fact that I think he is mean person, with no self awareness in
that regard.

My conclusion too, Steve. He sounds very disturbed, in the paragraph below.
