Alarms, booby traps, security lighting, security cameras, guns behind

afraid of?

That's easy, he's afraid of the past. Did you ever see the episode of
the Sopranos where Tony is in a small town in Maine and runs into a
mob informer who is now in the witness protection program? It's not
pretty. I don't think Harry is in the WPP but there are still things
that can go bump in the night, even if you've lived an otherwise
exemplary life like he has.



Still got that alarm system on your dock, W'hine? How about the one on
your house for when you are out of town?

Maybe you should watch that episode of the Sopranos if you missed it.
It might make you a little "tight" under the collar.


Oh, I've known a few of the "real deal" guys over the years.

Nice fellows, and far less crooked than your banksters. I knew Jimmy
Hoffa -distantly- in Detroit when the Teamsters were aligned with my UAW
client, I knew Roy Williams pretty well from my reporter days and his
union days in Kansas City, and I did some work for the Teamsters when
Jackie Presser ran the show. Jackie had a habit of calling me early
Sunday mornings...it was a bit of a startle the first few times.

So, you still have that alarm system on your dock, W'hine?
