I think the Christian Karaoke Kids are out to get me. So we live right across the street from a church. And the house next to us on the North side is occupied by the wayward youth and the youth minister from the church while the house across the street next to the church is occupied by the minister and has a bunch of offices in it. Needless to say, for a couple of heathens like James and I, we're in the lion's den.

A few weeks ago we came home and someone had written in chalk "creation is beautiful" on our sidewalk. It struck me as strangely deliberate since there was no other chalk writing around, but dismissed it.

We came home after racing in the Gorge last weekend to find some sort of white substance on the front steps. I wondered if maybe the cat next door had puked up tons of milk, or if the birds in the trees over the front steps suddenly got a massive simultaneous case of diarrhea.

James went out to clean it and discovered it was wax. Upon looking at it more carefully, it was very deliberately poured as it is spread in alternating strokes descending the steps. I don't know what the hell that means, but i'm starting to get paranoid. I'll post a picture when i get my camera back.

Come to think of it, a few weeks before the chalk thing, we came home from a regatta and the front door was open. Maybe that was related too.

I'm gonna keep my knife on me and be on the lookout for brimstone.
