To recap (for those of you who haven't read my last post, and can't be bothered to click on the link I provided above) Paul is some guy
That's not stealing... right?
I've been worrying about it since. You see, I don't know this Paul person. I've never met him; know nothing about him. Well almost nothing - he takes pictures, apparently has access to a plane, and knows where Eyebrow is. I don't know that he's not a 300 pound, homicidal maniac, ninja terrorist, with a really bad temper who hates people who
He's probably dressed in his bad-ass Ninja suit and in his plane right now - which apparently he has - and flying here - it would be way easier and faster than driving all the way here since Eyebrow is in the middle of the bald, flat, prairie 45 miles from the nearest city and driving all that way would be a pain and since the land around Eyebrow is flat land - I mean really FLAT (you saw the picture) - it would be easy to land just about anywhere, and....
"Breath Neil! If some crazy Ninja lands his plane in Eyebrow intent on murdering you and your entire family - just call 911."
Sigh - Let me explain! Have I mentioned that Eyebrow is 45 miles from the nearest city? We happen to be right on the edge of two policing districts - both of them centered quite a ways away. And I'm pretty sure that 911 calls from here get routed through Toronto via Sri Lanka... so it would probably take the RCMP (which is who provides police services for Canadian towns too small to have their own Police force) a while to get here and...
Hmmm... not so sure that its a good idea to include that last paragraph - Paul might be reading this. He already knows where Eyebrow is, how easy it would be to land his plane, and (thanks to the Google Van) it would be pretty easy to find where I live - or he could just ask someone (it is a small town - everyone knows everyone.) To mention the lack of police protection might make it too easy for him....
Well - I suppose I could call the Fire Department. Eyebrow does have one of those, albeit a volunteer fire department. Fire calls are routed automatically to the volunteer's cell phones and turns on the town alarm, so....
Ya, that would be the way to go! A half-dozen or so friends of mine showing up with fire-axes should make homicidal ninja killer Paul think twice about murdering me and my entire family. And they'd get here way faster than the response from a 911 call routed through Toronto via Sri Lanka would bring the police.
Paul might be a ninja though (I don't know that he isn't) and they're sneaky. I could think about defending myself. Thanks to last year's Eyebrow Garage Sale I have a very cool set of Samurai Swords
Didn't expect that, did you Paul! Me meeting you at the door with a Katana in my hand?!
Ummm... but Paul MIGHT be a Ninja! And I KNOW that I'm not. One of my sons studied Kendo, but that's him and.... well I'd be likely to do more damage to myself than Paul would do.
So how about this....
Paul if you're reading this - instead of flying here to murder me and my entire family - how about if we just TRADE pictures. I used a nice aerial picture that you took - I'll give you some nice pictures that I took. You can have them! Free of charge! Just don't fly down here and murder me and my entire family! OK? Please?
Here's the pictures:
See Paul? Pretty pictures! All yours - free! Now leave me alone! please...
If that doesn't work I can always hide in the closet with the lights off and the curtains closed....
