<DIV><BR></DIV>David, you are too much! :-)<BR><BR>My day was =
clicking
along pretty nicely until I got to my last<BR>appointment. =
Daughter will
be home, they said. She wasn't. After<BR>ringing the =
doorbell
three times, I tried it. It was unlocked. Since I<BR>know =
these
folks, I walked into the house and began to clear off
the<BR>piano.<BR><BR>About that time I was aware of a faint regular
beeping. "If my guess is<BR>right," I thought to myself, "I am =
about to
hear a security alarm go<BR>off." The thought had just come to =
me when
that nasty earsplitting<BR>thing went off. I had this happen =
once
before. Same situation -- no<BR>one home, alarm set, front door
unlocked. Why do people do that?!<BR><BR>The phone rang although =
I could
barely hear it. Since I thought it<BR>might be the security =
company, I
answered it. It was. I told them what<BR>happened, they =
called the
owner who gave them the code, which they gave<BR>to me, and after ten =
minutes
of that racket all was quiet. The phone<BR>rang again, and it =
was the
house owner calling to apologize. I tuned<BR>the piano, washed =
the keys,
repaired a damaged bench hinge, left the<BR>bill and came =
home.<BR><BR>For
anyone who never experienced this happy event, here's a hint. =
If<BR>you
didn't do anything wrong, don't get in your car and drive away!
You<BR>could make matters worse, and besides, you won't get paid if =
you
don't<BR>tune the piano. (No, I didn't drive away the last time, =
either,
but I<BR>was surprised at how strong the temptation was to do =
so!)<BR><BR>Now,
I'm going to take the phone off the hook and, if I can settle =
down,<BR>take a
nice nappy.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Clyde<BR><BR>David Love =
