Really, heck you could be out to dinner, and have your house broke into .If I worried about all you are suggesting I wouldn't leave the house.

Anyway still home getting ready for Montana :)

Sitting on the banks of the Big Horn River in Wyoming! Taking a break from yard work!

I've always wondered how a picture of my license plate on the internet could be a security hazard. I mean, my plate is always visible where ever I am. It's visible right now in the parking lot where I work. Anyone can look at it and maybe find out my address.

Unless I'm 1000 miles from home and no one is there, where is the security hazard?

I guess if I showed my plate on the internet, told everyone I was far from home, a burglar local to my home saw it and ran the address, they could rob me. Pretty unlikely I think...

work thanks a lot lol

Thanks sch, Thats what I get for trying to post from my phone!

I should probably be home too, been out at least a couple days every other week. We do weekdays to cut down on the crowds. Lately I think maybe for the first time in many years my personal life is interfering in my professional life. I might try to get used to the feeling.

Happy travels to those on the road, and pleasant dreams to those wanting to be on the road!

Home since April 1st, going to Columbus-Belmont tomorow for the weekend.

Home, getting ready for the summer trip to Montana
