Neighborhood Watch...
Last night was the neighborhood watch meeting (the first sign of living in the hood, having neighborhood watch meetings)... I was not in attendance as I am moving next month (did I mention that I am moving?). Also, as I said before in a prior post... I am not interested in "taking back the block."
These Neighborhood Watch meetings are... unusual. Allow me to elaborate. I went to one meeting shortly after I moved in. At the time, I wanted to be part of the solution... not part of the problem. This meeting, we covered Burglary and property damage or something. It was kinda interesting... I learned some statistics that I have since forgot. I can see how that topic would relate to a Neighborhood Watch program. The next couple sessions were head scratchers.
Following the Burglary session was the Rape Awareness section. I can still kinda see that applying to Neighborhood Watch programs... but the one that completely baffled me was last night's program. It was on Identity Theft. Now, someone please explain to me how that is going to help me with the gang across the street?
Something tells me, they wouldn't know what to do with my identity if I handed it to them. More to follow...
