Lafayette is a fairly sedate place. I lock my doors but lots of folks don't. No matter how good a place is there are fringe personalities out there who have their own views of reality (certainly we do here on SF as well).

Nearly ten years ago now somebody with a beef drove a pickup loaded with a fertilizer bomb into the East door of our courthouse (across the street from my office) in a failed effort to blow it up. The bomb fizzled.

If it had gone off it would have been intersesting to see the results of a bomb on the old girl since she is solid limestone and the lowest levels have walls nearly three feet thick.

Anyway, despite the FBI being involved in the investigation it remains unsolved. I was interviewed once by an FBI agent who asked a lot of questions about an electrician who had done a lot of work for me.

At the time I doubed he could have been involved but now?.....well, you never know, he is a strange fellow. Very congenial and an excellent electrician and all around mechanic, though.

You just never know what folks will do.
