I haven’t been as active lately. Had to go to North Carolina for the week to work with a customer. After spending 10 hours a day onsite then getting back to the hotel, all I wanted to do was crash. However, I did have a lot of time to think while I was gone, and I came up with the an off the wall idea…......
What if people are really “talented” but our concious mind refuses to beleive it. We hear stories about mystical healers, religious healers, people who can read minds,....the list goes on. What if it is all true, but our waking mind is so scared of what it could mean that it keeps us from utilizing these talents?
Okay, I know, I should probably spend more time sleeping than staying up late watching bad sci-fi movies, but I can’t help thinking what if…......I’ve had to many strange things happen to me or around me to say that it can’t happen or to completely disprove it.

Man what a night. To start off with, my neighbor caught me as my wife and I were coming in from lunch today and told us that she saw a couple of teens lurking around our other neighbor’s house. Our other neighbor is an Indian couple which spends most of their time in their other home in NJ and have been away for about three months so far. I told Nina, the one that spoke with us, that when her husband got home, we’d call the police and have them check it out.
A couple of hours later, I went to take the trash out and saw Nina and Ron (her husband) as they were leaving and flagged them down. While Ron and I talked, we both saw a teenager standing at the other neighbors car (which had been in the same spot for the past three months) and that the car had been moved. The kid noticed that we were watching him and he walked to the corner of the house and just stood there watching us. Ron and Nina drove off and I went in side to get another bag of trash and when I came back out, the kid was gone, but the trunk of the car was open.
At that point, I called the police. They showed up about 10 minutes later and investigated. They found that the backdoor of the house had been busted out, there were gang tags sprayed on the back of the house, and the house was trashed.
The police asked if we had any contact information for the owners, but all we had was an address in NJ. So a friend of mine and a couple of the neighbors and I got together to board up the house. I got a high powered halogen light and set it up on my garage roof to shine on the backyard to help deter any further attempts of someone getting. We don’t know if the cops have contacted the owners yet, but all the neighborhood is VERY concerned.
Everyone keeps looking out their windows when someone walks by.
It was obviously kids and have been going in and out of the house for a while now. It scares me because I have to travel for work and my wife and 4 year old stay at home while I’m gone. I want to move, but can’t afford to right now and can’t afford to not travel.
Burn a candle for us and hope that these guys are caught soon.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Just wanted to say thanks to bpl360 for inviting me on this wonderful idea. Looking around, it appears I’m in good company here.
