Every evening I check the door on my downtime after I put the kids to bed and give them a shower and dinner between 10 and 11 I kinda just go out for 15–20 minutes and just go check on the house. I currently live here and the house building is just like across the street so every night I go there around 11, 10:11 check up check the doors front door back door, maybe a light on or something since I got electricity and my mother-in-law went there last week with a flashlight look around come out. I’m just walking home. I see two undercover police officers. My home is on the side. There’s an alley so we just walk right as normal. How are you, sir? I said I’m fine. How are you? Oh is this your home? I said oh this is my home. I’m just gonna go home like OK very nice. Thank you. We just walking back home so I look back in. You go along the front side alley so as soon as police officers got suspicious why are these two people going and they split up so they called back up so my mother went this way and then she went into the house along the alley and went to the back of the house back of the house and then we kind of were lost for a couple of minutes they couldn’t see us so they called four more office cars now there’s six cars in our neighborhood. We were all back inside the hole around the house and then a couple minutes later I went outside to the garage. I said OK I’m gonna get of milk. I’ll get that lock up the garage next door and I’ll come back when I’m ready. Open the garage and I see the cops with my garage doors open, and I said, "Well, we’ve been looking for you." I’m like, I have nice cars on my garage and started looking at my cars so I could close my garage because then they’re gonna get more close. "We are suspicious of you." I got suspicious of a lady. She goes, "Oh, well, over there." She was their officer. It’s 11 o’clock, undercover, the way you guys are dressed. The lady laughing at her undercover to get your ID. I left my wallet in my house, so now I got four officers, "Let me get my wallet, come officer my wallet in my garage over there." Let me just come back, then they started doing this. My wallet came back. I showed him my ID. That was my story. They just let me ask all these things, "What are you guys looking for?" When I came out, there were six cars, dogs, eight or nine officers. And then they said, "Well, I said well you went all of your neighbor at the other house because the neighbor called the police saying there’s a thief inside the house in the new house, and they thought I was the.. Open the garage and I see the cops with my garage doors open, and I said, "Well, we’ve been looking for you." I’m like, I have nice cars on my garage and started looking at my cars so I could close my garage because then they’re gonna get more close. "We are suspicious of you." I got suspicious of a lady. She goes, "Oh, well, over there." She was their officer. It’s 11 o’clock, undercover, the way you guys are dressed. The lady laughing at her undercover to get your ID. I left my wallet in my house, so now I got four officers, "Let me get my wallet, come officer my wallet in my garage over there." Let me just come back, then they started doing this. My wallet came back. I showed him my ID. That was my story. They just let me ask all these things, "What are you guys looking for?" When I came out, there were six cars, dogs, eight or nine officers. And then they said, "Well, I said well you went all of your neighbor at the other house because the neighbor called the police saying there’s a thief inside the house in the new house, and they thought I was the thief. So I locked the door, so that’s what happened. I said, "Can you please give me the name or someone so I can thank my neighbor? Thank you for calling." Don’t know—we can’t do that. Part of the story is Bobby calls me the next day. He goes, "What happened last night? What happened? You yelling my wife."

Yes that was Micahael Ghirra's speech recorded on my cell phone and transcribed by ChatGpt and edited by ChatGpt. here:
 
Every evening, after I’ve put the kids to bed, given them showers, and served dinner, I take a bit of downtime between 10 and 11 PM. During this time, I usually head out for 15–20 minutes to check on the house across the street, where I currently live. The house is just across from my current home. Around 11 PM, I walk over to ensure everything is in order—checking the front and back doors, and occasionally making sure the lights are off, as the house has electricity.
Last week, my mother-in-law went there with a flashlight to look around. One night, while walking home after my usual house check, I noticed two undercover police officers nearby. My house is next to an alley, so as I walked through, they approached me.
"How are you, sir?" one of them asked.
"I'm fine. How are you?" I replied.
They then asked, "Oh, is this your home?"
I responded, "Yes, this is my home. I’m just heading back." They said, "OK, very nice. Thank you."
As I continued walking, I noticed them watching us closely. My mother-in-law had gone through the alley and entered the house via the back door. It seemed this made the officers suspicious because they split up and called for backup.
Soon, four more police cars arrived, bringing the total to six cars, with multiple officers and even a police dog. Meanwhile, we were inside the house. A few minutes later, I went outside to the garage to grab some milk. While I was unlocking the garage door, I noticed the officers again.
One of them said, "We’ve been looking for you."
I responded, "Why? I was just locking up my garage."
They seemed to take an interest in the cars in my garage, which made me uneasy. As they looked around, they said, "We are suspicious of you." One officer mentioned a neighbor had called about a possible thief inside the house across the street.
I explained, "That’s my house. I go there every night to check on it."
They asked for my ID, but I had left my wallet inside the house. I told them, "Let me grab my wallet from the garage," and went to retrieve it. After showing them my ID, they finally understood the situation.
When I asked why there were so many officers, they said it was because a neighbor reported suspicious activity at the house. They assumed I was the thief.
I asked, "Could you tell me which neighbor called so I can thank them for being vigilant?"
They replied, "We can’t disclose that information."
The next day, Bobby, a neighbor, called me and asked, "What happened last night? My wife said she heard yelling." I explained the entire situation to him.
 
 
 

MEANDERINGS    

 
 
In 1974 Scientific American reported on the results of a study testing the difference between girls and boys 'spatial abilities.' Findings had implied a superior male performance which had endured in psychological literature. Harvard psychologists tested 222 boys and 223 girls in grades1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 to see when this assumed superiority first became evident. The testing found that no sex differences except in the low ability and medium ability seventh grade mathematics class where the boys tested significantly superior. The psychologists concluded that males and females are of equal competence and the lower scores of the seventh grade girls were attributed to the effects of social conditioning.
