Acronyms and a Burglar Needed

While the World has been on holiday, I've set up the Bogsville Association for Learning Life Skills or the GSAFI for short so that should keep me busy for a while.

It's listed in yellow pages under Bureaucratic Organizations for Nationalizing Knowledge.

At the moment I'm short of a Young Feminists against Racism Official Note Taker so if you know anyone ... It'd also help if someone could come up with a snappy acronym or two - already had complaints about GSAFI.. apparently not snappy enough for Bogsville.

Burglary Bonanza Time

Just about everybody seems to be away from home at the moment.Think I'll go slip on a black and white striped jumper and a little black mask and go investigate a few empty apartments.

Remember it you guys? Still available from Amazon.

According to the Tampa Tribune - Burglars see the three-day weekend as "a bonanza of homes left unattended." - so if there is a burglar out there reading this on some family's computer while they're out of town, drop me a line and tell me about it.

Advice from Tampa includes "Turn your bedroom into a refuge with a telephone, fire extinguisher, first-aid kit and a horn or whistle to signal for help." Is this before or after you go away for your three day holiday?

Install a wide-angle peephole so you can see who is at your door without opening it. Place one at a lower height for children and one even lower for your dog or cat. On no account fit the peep hole the wrong way round - that would be plain stupid.
