Richard, Jeff, Roger, Raymond and anybody else- Thanks. This town where we live is really an out of body experience, that's for sure. They didn't hurt me; I'm still on the school board but it was creepy as all get out to see our house on all those mailers. Somebody from the NJ paper thought they were being cute when they called me, at the time, and said at least the machine didn't say that we lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. One positive thing, a lot of teenagers told me that they thought I was "cool" for liking "monsters."
