I had just finished my first reply to Ben's post on his new Khuk, when I heard three loud bangs from next door, exactly like a storm door being kicked in. It was (at least a try). The neighbors had loaded out with their Christmas goodies this afternoon, and gone to their relatives. Our Chief is in the hospital, and the other half of the dept. is on vacation, so the town is being covered by the county. They are very very good, but spread thin. The door was slightly dented, so his own noise might have scared him off (the blood-curdling "YARF" from the Cairn might have helped
). By the time I made the carport, he was a flicker of shadow between me and lighted houses, so there wasn't even an opportunity. Moving targets are SOOOoooo scarce, nowadays. The deputy was seral miles out, finishing another call, and still made it in just ten, but nothing left to do but a house check. The rest of the weekend will be dull. Unless he is stupid enough to come back
