They've targeted my car.  It's a '99 Infinite QX4 in terrible shape, but I'm bringing it back, with a little help from my friends.

Today, I was heading into town.  The car sits in the parking lot on a level spot of the steep hill behind my house.  When my dog and I walked up the hill to the car and I stuck my coded key into the door lock, the car alarm immediately sounded.  I screwed around with it for about 45 seconds and shut it down.

So we drove ten miles into town and I stopped at the pharmacy to get some supplies.  When I walked out and looked around, there was a guy in his late 20's wearing a short beard standing off to my left, drinking something out of a plastic cup and staring into space.  So I stopped and watched him. He was obviously a local because he was wearing a T shirt and dark pants, and it was a bit chilly for this old dog from Florida.  I watched him for about a minute, thinking seriously about strolling over to him and ramming my blade into his right kidney, but I just wasn't certain.

So I walked back to the car, having previously stopped for a few minutes at the grocery store.

When I reentered the car in the grocery store's parking lot, no alarm.  This time at the pharmacy, the alarm sounded again.  I had it down by then and immediately shut it off with the key, then unlocked it again.  No alarm.  When I looked back to my left, the kid was gone.  That was his good luck.  Otherwise, he would now be very dead, lying on a morgue slab.

BTW, I had the engine checked and they had not damaged it.  At least, not apparently. Time will tell.

Stalk me and die!

The beat goes on.

Never quit.

Never, ever quit!
