Well, we're pretty much moved into our new place in North Minneapolis now. There was another shooting on Wednesday that made the headlines. Apparently somebody decided to shoot at people holding a peace vigil. Yay. I guess crime is still down like 20% in North Minneapolis as compared to this time last year. Let's hope it just keeps going down.
Yesterday, I decided to drive through some of the really nice areas of North Minneapolis. These are the areas about two blocks west of us, going up the edge of the parkway. I'm trying to convince myself that we are close enough to this area to be in its area of effect. It is for certain that there are a lot less crimes in the nicer area, but we're *not* in that area. I just need to keep telling myself - we have insurance, it's ok. But, I worry about the next time we need to go out of town, or somebody picks up on our Monday night excursions to Eden Prairie...
Then I sit here thinking to myself, what happens the next time we move? We will kind of *have* to do everything at once, I think. Time to start getting rid of EVERYTHING. Oh well, we were going to do that anyway. I'm going to be working on that once we've unpacked.
I think I'll get the security system activated. I read today that there are fees associated with false alarms. It's like $45 the first time, $100 the second, and add $100 more for each additional offense. After 5 false alarms, I guess the police just stop coming. This is worse than having no alarm. Can cats set off house alarms?
