If I'm at Federal and 26th, my situational awareness is focused on the two-legged animals and their vehicles ;)

I have an unusual name. Put it into Google and you get a half dozen hits with my address. I've tried to remove it where possible but just about given up. Having a CO biz and being a registered voter means I'm out there.

And I think the name on the card is on the strip, right?

I thought it was unusual they would go to that length as well though. Seems pretty risky.
