Thanks for the heads up and I am glad things didn't turn bad, but I'm sorry I just kept thinking about this pic that's been floating around in the internet.

LOL!!!
Yeah, we're entering a whole new world now that people are out of work and are in need of cash. Desperate times = desperate measures.

Someone stopped me in my driveway a few months ago while was unloading groceries from my car. He said he was from Comcast (our local cable company) & walked toward my front door (I had my arm around grocery bags and my housekeys keys in my other hand).

He asked if I was a current subscriber to Comcast, and I made a joke. All I said was "if you're FROM Comcast, wouldn't you know if I HAD Comcast?" I was kidding, making small-talk. I didnt think for a second that he wasn't legit.

But he looked at me, looked around and backed up and walked back down the driveway and down the street.

I went inside the house and called Comcast and asked about door-to-door salespeople in my neighbrohood and they said they didn't have any scheduled & to call the police immediately.

I did... not sure if they got him.

Taught me to be a little bit less trusting of people.

Yeah, that's crazy.
You can't be too careful these days. It's a wild world out there.

You must not be from the People's Republic of Maryland. Here, in order to get a permit to carry, you have to prove that you have been threatened and killed at least three times in the past five years, and only then if you pass a strict psychological test. Criminals, on the other hand, are allowed to carry at will.

You live in a Liberal state for sure. I on the other hand live in a gun clinging religious state....
