Thought Patterns?

I'm a bit astounded at the manner in which some people function in life. Jeri, during her lunch time phone call (she was home on reprieve for a few hours), mentioned that our hose for the front yard was now AWOL. What kind of mindset does someone have to steal a water hose? It's not an expensive hose, I don't think there is such a thing; but what prompts someone to see a hose and think "Hey, I can do some serious watering with that, it's mine!", and then come over and (since there's absolutely zero cover to hind behind), unscrew the hose and make off with it. I suppose, since I never took logic, I'm going to have to look to Jeri and Kerry to answer this one, but it does seem like poor logic to me. It's our hose. I went to the store, put the hose in the cart, paid for the hose and brought it home. The key phrase there is, paid for the hose. The hose is blue as opposed to the fairly standard green, but should I wander through the neighborhood to see if I see it, what do I do when I find a blue hose. Can I assume it's mine, and take it back? No, and how can I prove it's our hose? For kicks, I should call the police and tell them there's been a robbery - I wonder how they'd react when they came out and found it was just a hose that was stolen.

I bet if I find the house with our hose, there's some fishing equipment lying next to it. Fuckers. Fuckers. Fuckers.

I am enjoying Rainbow 6: Lockdown a bit.

I suspect it was Andrew Hume that stole the hose. I wonder if my dad will go with me to get it back...or should I just call Cpl. Brunson and let him take care of it. "Joshua? Who?...No, no I won't take you to Wunderland."

I bought a new one today, how exactly does one "lock" up a hose, or are we supposed to bring it in after each use?

I might have replaced the hose with a state of the art hose (BAIT,) and filled it with poison, dye, or potassium hydroxide (you have the heat to warm it to 121 F.) Then I would leave it in plain sight, where the last one was pinched from.

And that my friend, is why you're going to be a great neighbour.

What no new PIPING topics? I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disapointed.
