You get used to living a solitary existence and it becomes the normal. I'm not a good talker and don't "mix" well. Even at work, I tend to stay in my office and take care of my own affairs. So I have to be pretty independent in terms of security up where I live. I like the woods a lot. If I have to listen to cars or other "people"noises I have a hard time relaxing. Sorry your wife doesn't want to move out to the sticks, if she won't you are stuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984270572019687165.post-49618595829604304842010-01-30T05:41:05.130-08:002010-01-30T05:41:05.130-08:00As you may or not know I live in an apartment.

I got a new york door bar. <br /><br />This all goes on when I am home or if the wife is home alone. <br /><br />Then I keep a gun with me or leave one out for the wife if I am not home. <br /><br />We both have cell phones and a hard line home phone to call the police AFTER the fact. We take of business first, make sure we are safe, then notify. <br /><br />This is called being prepared for anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984270572019687165.post-44298636227078527502010-01-28T15:27:17.937-08:002010-01-28T15:27:17.937-08:00Nice.

The wife prefers people around while a don't. She's winning right now but I'm doing my best to swing her my way.Freedom Strikes Backhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320304793358367431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984270572019687165.post-24823888608110438362010-01-28T09:44:36.523-08:002010-01-28T09:44:36.523-08:00That is why I have layered defense.

Harder than it sounds, since it is way down a dirt county road that the county hasn't maintained since it went broke in 2008. Then you have to get around my steel gate, with a cliff face on one side of it and a stream on the other. Then you have to get through the electric fence that surrounds the buildings, and that will attract my dogs. If you get through them, you will set off motion detectors. I can see all approaches to my main house through a security camera system, night or day. And I will shoot without being overly meticulous about who is out there. I can talk over the security system to any place I have a camera, a handy feature in the event that I have some stupid hiker lost on the Appalachian trail who has wandered up on me. I don't like surprises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
