I was talking to my sister about the increase in crime, and she was telling me about situations that happened near her house that frightened her recently. Then she told me about a website that she found that focuses on security issues and has some good home security tips. The entire website seems to be articles of advice on being as safe as possible at home in today’s society. It discusses whether or not burglar alarms might be a good idea, it encourages people to start neighborhood watch support groups. It reviews a lot of different types of security products. It seems like a good website to use as a resource in learning about security issues.

Gang activity
It seems that every time I turn on the television, or pick up a newspaper, or read the local news on the Internet, I am hearing about the increase in gang activity across the country. I am hearing and reading a lot of stories about home invasions that just make my hair stand on end! As the economy worsens, crime is bound to increase because people are going to be more desperate and take measures they would not normally take during prosperous times. This is a frightening situation for us all.

Shopping in the UK
My girlfriend Sandy lives in Edinburg, Scotland. We met years ago when she came over here on a business trip, and we’ve kept in touch and she comes to visit over here every year when she has a vacation. Anyway, she tells me that she has found a great deal and bought a new iPod over the Internet at the website www.dealtime.co.uk. She says that it is a great site to find deals on a large variety of products from clothing to electronics, books, toys, movies, video games, even washing machines. What she especially likes about this site is that it includes reviews of the products, to help her figure out what the best product for her really is!

Shopping at Wal-Mart
I avoid going to Wal-Mart in the middle of the day on a weekend. The crowds are huge, the lines are long, the aisles are crowded, and people get short tempered and rude. I don’t understand why it is that people will park their cart across the aisle from the product they want to look at, and then stand in front of the product to read the label. This effectively blocks the entire aisle!
People, park the cart on the same side of the aisle as where you are standing! This at least leaves half of the aisle open for people to pass you!
