    An Interesting Weekend

    Houston was hosting two large sporting events-the PGA (golf) Championship, and the NCAA Final Four (basketball). From past experience, I've found that going to the parties associated with large sporting events is a great way to meet interesting people.

    So, on Saturday night, I went to two parties and got home at 2:30 a.m. I went to bed at 3:30 and at 4:30 I was awakened by a BOOM !!

    I looked out my window and saw nothing but flame and smoke. I threw on some clothes and ran to the front door. Just feet from my door, there were two cars on fire. The fire department, only a mile away, responded quickly.

    About ten hours later, I found out that the owner of one of the cars was having troubles with her boyfriend. I hope they lock up this person. I don't feel safe. He might return and decide to burn down the building.
    They call me Spooky, Spooky Mulder. A joke to my peers and an annoyance to my superiors. Whose sister was abducated by aliens when he was a kid, and now runs around with a badge and gun yelling to anyone who is listening that the fix is in and when it hits, it'll be the crapstorm of all time.

    I hope they discover proof positive of his involvement first, if they lock up the wrong person you will still not be safe.

    Yes, I hope they nail him. That kind of love and obcessive control freak (just guessin') can really be dangerous. Glad you weren't hurt.

    Wow. That's pretty extreme. Whatever happened to just slashing tires, or removing the valve stems?

    Relax, I'm not a dude with an extreme hatred of tires and all things rubber. I just figured that blowing up a car is overreacting. I could be wrong.

    I think over reacting is an understatement here, the guy blew up two cars. The guy should be locked up before, he decides that the rest of the cars in the neighbour hood can be fitted with a bomb too.
    I love my cat! Isnt she cute?

    Whats interesting to me is the growing number of wonderfully exciting and extreme things that keep happening in Dudester's life. Where does he find the time to live, let alone write about it on an internet forum?

    I'm trying to figure what the sporting event thing has to do with the exploding cars.

    I usually don't go out on Saturday nights. Usually, I just stay home. Had I stayed home-parked in my usual spot, my car either would've been destroyed or seriously damaged. Because I came home late, I parked 100 feet from my usual location.

    Gotcha. I guess the lesson is, never go out.
