[GPSCC-chat] Odd occurrence today, should I watch my back?

[Brian Good]

Hi John, 

   I experienced a lot of intimidating and disruptive odd occurrences in the 80's and 90's.
Like I'd go away for the weekend and come home and find that my new shoes had been 
relaced so they missed some eyelets.

  In the last few years my parked car has been twice damaged by hit and run drivers--once 
seriously wrinkling the trunk area on one side and bending the front bumper--both times in 
San Francisco while I was busy working with World Can't Wait.

  So I'm generally respectful of your concerns.  In this particular case, the wide separation 
both in time and space between your knocked-down sign and your car damage gives a lot 
of scope for coincidence to work.  But it's always good to be aware of your surroundings, 
to watch your back, and to reach out early to friends for support when stuff is bothering
you.

Brian

Let's try that again.  I did recieve the e-mail back from the list yesterday, but I am sending it directly to a few people just to be sure. On a side note, this type of incident is not without precident for me.  When I first started my fair trade crafts store my car got sideswiped by a hit and run driver while it was parked in front of my store on Santa Clara St.  Needless to say I decided not to park on Santa Clara St after that.  Overall, this is probably no big deal, but I do feel the need to stand up and say "hey wait just a darn minute" when stuff like this happens.

I don't think I can answer your questions, I don't know enough.

Also, I notice that I did not receive this email through
the GPSCC list, just directly from you.
