Not just once—it’s un common if a month goes by with out someone reporting an interest ed if uninvited observer. So far, these characters have proved to be fairly harmless. You could call them the run-when-you beller variety. No matter who they are or what you call them, the folks down there have decided to put a stop to them. Most any night, the solitary figure of Don “Colt 44” Pickens can be seen protecting a body’s fundamental right of privacy. If you happen to pass by that way some evening or in the small er hours and decide to take a short cut through the court, it might be well to sing softly, hum, whistle, or otherwise make your self known. ’Cuz if you don’t the menfolks of the encampment might be roused out en masse. Woe be unto the stranger in their midst.
