Well, we had a good bit of excitement around the homestead last night. First, at our quarterly homeowners' association meeting, I was elected board president. Hope I don't regret that!
Then, as we returned home from walking the dog about 9 p.m., we passed a strange man peeking in the windows of a downstairs unit (below us and over one). He was trying to hide behind the palm tree because Brady alerted to him (ears and hackles up), and he didn't/wouldn't say anything. We stood there (about eight feet away) staring at him for 30 seconds or more, and he just hid behind the tree. So we took Brady upstairs and Ken came back down to confront the peeper, who took off running as soon as Ken came out of the stairwell. So, Ken took off running after him and chased the guy around the complex one and a half times before the guy got away (he had a pretty good head start). So, we called the cops, who sent out a couple of deputies to look around. We patrolled the area with Brady for another hour. Didn't see the guy again, but we bet he either lives here or was visiting someone who lives here, because the way our complex is set up, you don't just stumble on it (no stores or anything nearby).
Turns out, he was watching our college-age neighbor getting ... friendly ... with his girlfriend (there was a tiny crack in the blinds where he might've seen something). Anyway, creepy.
Ken decided that was the most excitement he's had in a long time and (briefly) considered a career in law enforcement. I nipped that in the bud. :o)
