off topic humor: I Feel Like I Am Being Watched
- 08/09/10 12:23 AM
Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? I don't mean a furtive glance from a stranger in the mall, but followed, spied on with intent. I've had that feeling for sometime. I would glance out the window or steal a quick look behind me, but never see anything out of place. On a recent business trip to Seattle to assist fellow home inspector and AR member Charles Buell with a multi building inspection, I got an inkling into why I have been sensing secretive eyes on my back. One morning we met for breakfast with another AR member (18 comments)

A few weeks ago I told the tale of my new resident woodchuck Chuckie. I had found out about my little friend by his not so graciously chowing down on my vegetable garden.

The discovery has scientist pretty excited (I guess old pottery get's them worked up), but there is no gold or other treasure on these boats.
