Incidents
Wednesday, 1 September 2004
Many other things...
Trying to keep up and post all the incidents is a challenge.

Here's a quick summary of the past few weeks:

The car has been found unlocked, even though my mother is positive she locked it.

Her car battery went dead the day she had to go see the doctor for a physical.

(Car was towed; was told headlights had been left on. But she told me, 'It's strange because I came home at dusk last night, and I don't recall using the headlights.' The car's automatic (daytime) headlights go off when the ignition is turned off. )

My mother's new garden plants keep disappearing. This has happened several times -- each time after I've written one of my missives about either surveillance or 9-11.

The remote control for the TV set stopped working for no reason at all. Hadn't been dropped or anything. My mother tried changing the batteries, etc.

Just a week before this, the chair my mother sits in to watch TV inexplicably collapses and breaks, when she sat in it. (yeah, okay, it's a plastic lawnchair, but very sturdy, well-made, and apparently quite comfortable.) My mother has repeatedly said that watching TV is her de-stresser.

I should point out that whenever either my mother or I say something positive about something, it breaks or otherwise goes out of commission. This extends to bigger things, as well -- not just trivial domestic concerns.

THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN IN TANDEM WITH STUFF THAT I AM DOING AND/OR WRITING ABOUT.

How would that be possible? Only if they have a sizable -- and growing -- network of people. By watching me for so long, and seeing how many jobs I went through, PLUS working for several personnel agencies, it would become quite evident that they could, in fact, recruit widely and diversely.

[As I'm editing this post -- Sept. 6th, 1:50AM -- my apartment buzzer just sounded.]

I am on a group list that includes organizers and presenters of the first two phases of the Citizens' Inquiry into 9-11, and also participate in various other activist listservs.
