Excellent!  I assume that means you'll be stopping
by one of these days.  I'll fire of the grill.

I couldn't agree more, Robert.

Yep.

There is a law.  It's called larceny.  When you
sell something to someone and then secretly
disable it so that they must continue to pay
you after the agreed upon price has been paid
that is a form of theft.  Alarm companies do
this all the time.  They get away with it only
because most people are unwilling to fight
back or lack the knowledge of their rights.

I'm considering buying a small "Ninja" bike --
not a real powerful one, just something to
buzz around town with.

Precisely!  You don't have to answer to Jiminex
or any of the rest of the local IB.

He changes his alias to get past the filters
people put up to avoid seeing his filth.
