Years ago, when I was in my 20s, and had recently moved to New York, I was awakened by a pounding on my apartment door -- this was 2:30 in the morning -- and the man was yelling "Con Edison, this is an emergency -- gas leak!!" and I had been in a sound sleep and I opened the door. That still scares me when I think about it. Luckily it was really a Con Ed guy. I read a murder mystery novel about a serial killer who would follow women into dry cleaners, find their address and then knock on their doors a few days later holding dry cleaning and the women would open the door -- he did the same thing disguised as a florist. So I should know better. At least for the first pounding, I let the safety latch on.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489562395997565051.post-84085988458642508962011-08-01T22:36:44.987-04:002011-08-01T22:36:44.987-04:00Very good advise Fran!Very good advise Fran!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734048737072326977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489562395997565051.post-32205208039366255672011-08-01T21:35:09.954-04:002011-08-01T21:35:09.954-04:00Welcome home, Dorothy.
