Blast,

Thanks for posting this link. I've read it several times during the past two weeks and still learn something new each time.

It's a gripping story - I can't believe how plausible the scenarios seem to be with characters that I really cared about (go Karate Man!). There were a few surprises (such as a lack of pets - no one has any dogs in the neighborhood; how sad) and quite a few realistic villians - How many of us know a "Barney" or a "the boss - Mr. Davis"?

I first wished that I lived in a community like Silver Hills; then I realized that the responsiblity is mine to help create an atmosphere of self-reliance and neighborly support in my existing area.

Again thanks!
