Knowing that the weather would be perfect for doing an outside job today I was actually looking forward to it until I walked in the door to the Plant. Looking ahead towards the Maintenance Compoundthe Gatewas wide open, the Lightswere all on and there were Power Toolslying on the floor where anyone could take them.

Not touching anything I went to talk with Paul as this resembled something I did not like. Checking his Officehe was not there but as I turned Paul was coming out of the kitchen. I simply asked “What Happen?” With a smile on his face Paul said “I got one.”

Paul and Flora had gone to the Hospitalon Sunday evening to visit (are ready for this) Kharen. After leaving the Planton Saturday Kharen felt severely ill and was rushed to the Hospital. After a barrage of tests within Twenty-Four Hourshe was told that he had Pancreatitis. Not sure of how long he will be off work he called Paul.

Returning to the Plant (Paul’s home) around 6:30 talking of what Kharen’s absence would do they noted on the Security Video what appeared to be Toolsoutside of the Maintenance Compound and the Lightswere on. Checking in person they confirmed that they had interrupted a Break-Inin progress.

Flora left for home around 9:00 using Paul’s pickup while Paul watched the Security Video Monitor. Fifteen Minuteslater he spotted movement in the back of the Plant. Then the rear door opened and someone with a Bicyclewith an attached Trailercame riding up to the Maintenance Compound.

Do any of you remember when I mentioned that Paul had a Gunin his Office. Seeing more lights flickering at the rear of the Plantwhile someone else was already in the CompoundPaul loaded the Gunand headed into the Plant.

Confronting the young man in the Compound when he said get on the ground and don’t move there was no argument when he saw the Shotgunpointed in his direction. It was at that point Paul called the Policebut felt uneasy standing there looking over his shoulders for the second intruder. The flickering lights at the rear of the Plantdisappeared just before the Policearrived.

Both the Suspectand Paul were taken to Police Headquarters. After Six Hours(4:00 in the morning) Paul was released with a notice to appear in court. He is being charged with pointing a loaded Gunat a person. That is in Paul’s own words.

Instead of sealing the WindowsI had planned the day was spent adding Barsto the windows where this person shimmied through as well as repairing theWindowcovering. There were a few other repairs such as Carriersbut the Windowsealing did not take place. With the dropping wet temperatures on their way that will have to wait until Spring.

For supper we share a Tourtiere along with a Caesars Salad and a Bottle of Carbonated Juice. We also enjoyed a Pecan Tart and Yogurt Cup for dessert.
