The only good advice I get anymore about my surroundings are the voices in my head. They haven't let me down yet.![]()
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

Ginsue's Feedback
My wife is utterly oblivious, condition white, most of the time. She wonders how I can miss something like a new doodad on the coffee table, or that she moved some furniture around the living room, but then asks me "When did someone move into XXX house down the street?". I guess I'm just attuned to that which matters, not the trivial bullshit that happens when she's in the mood to screw with interior decorating. I make note of vehicles that belong on our street(cul de sac), and she's utterly amazed that I know what the plate numbers are on vehicles that "don't belong"...
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Original Post: Yep, have done the same thing many times on the way home after dark, wife usually doesn't say anything, but probably thinks I'm nuts. Better safe than sorry.
I'm usually looking around at everything when driving by the house, windows, doors, the other cars, just to have One Up on anything or anyone that is hiding before I park in the driveway.
My wife is vastly more paranoid than me. Beyond that my situational awareness, is crap. Its mostly her saying something with the premise of letting me off leash. She may as well just say "go get him boy."
We used to live in a terrible neighborhood in AZ and there was more than one night that involved me getting woken from a deep sleep by my wife. I knew the look that said "your pistol is right there, listen for a minute than go figure it out"
