**Hal Briston** I knew you must be a good guy šŸ˜ƒ It sounds like he has a substance abuse problem. Drunks donā€™t typically need ā€œ$300 right now.ā€ Sounds like something a little more disorienting, and expensive. I hate it when people take advantage of innocent folk whose only fault is having been sheltered. I canā€™t imagine how upset and disillusioned your neighbor must be. Thank heaven for people like you. ---

Wouldnā€™t it be something if the PPG works at the paper and gets an envelope with $1 in it and notes the return address and shows up at your house for more? (I hate commas this morning for some reason) ---

I got the story from them, went home, and realized ā€œEh, I have nothing much going onā€¦lemme grab my painting gearā€. Great end to the story. Good on ya. ---

Since itā€™s 7 years laterā€¦ I wonder if psycho painter ever saw jail time for his fun little burglary stunt. ---
