Bye, bye stereo:

So long, Christmas present laptop:

Adios, Jim's briefcase & work documents.
And goodbye to feeling safe in my own cute little driveway.
This is our first burglary since we moved to Phoenix.
Our cars were broken into 4 times when we lived in Tempe.
People just aren't very nice.
Grrrr.

10:50 a.m.
When Brody & I finally got to go on our walk, after calling the police and the auto insurance and the renter's insurance, we run into this:

THIS is the evil little chow that chases the mailmen and causes our mail to
not be delivered for weeks at a time. This is the little jerkdog that the
post office says the whole neighborhood should file a class-action lawsuit
against because its owners (our neighbors across the street) often let it
run loose. It always barks at us from behind its fence. BUT today, it was
loose! And it came racing over to attack Brody! And I kicked it! And Brody
growled at it & then continued sniffing the bushes & looking for cats.
He didn't care. But I cared. And this dog was hunting us, following us, running
toward us if I turned my back! So we took a different route & lost it,
and then, because the dog tried to attack Brody, and because I like having
mail delivery, and because I was already angry at all the mean people in the
world, I called the pound on my cell phone. So now the dog's lounging in another
neighbor's lawn (see fuzzy, long distance picture... no way am I getting close
enough to get an in-focus photo!), and hopefully the pound people will come
soon & haul it's mean fuzzy butt to jail.
grrr.
