Totally agreed. Problem is, when you do something like that, you invariably want to brag. And once more than one person knows, its no longer a secret. And in the circles that run on the shady side of the law, there's ALWAYS someone listening, and willing to pass along said information to someone else. Information, after all, is quite the valuable commodity. One little overheard conversation may mean the difference between 90 days community service or time behind bars, married to Omar.
One Halloween I came outside and found my mailbox down. A week or so later a man showed up to put it back up in exchange for no charges being filed.
Seems that his daughter lobbed a pumpkin out of the back of a pickup truck and hit it, one of many that night. They got caught because they were talking about it at school.
I told him you had to admire the arm on her, being able to hit a mailbox from a moving pickup with a pumpkin. He said yeah, but he'd never tell her so.
LOL Yeah, great story! Gotta admire a man who would do that for his daughter. Although, I think I would have agreed, provided that his daughter did at least half of the work. Her actions, her responsibility, her lesson learned.
Even better...she was at work earning the cash to pay for the new posts. I think she learned. She never did roll over on the driver of the truck, though.
Eternal Father, Strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea.

I think posting a picture of yourself in progress would qualify as "dumb enough".
Thanks for dropping by RA!
