How's Business by Don Blyly We had a very good December, partly due to the lack of blizzard, ice storms, snow drifts, etc., that we had to endure the year before. But it was a very good December even compared to a normal year. January and February continued to be good compared to last year, but were nothing to brag about compared to an average year. Heating costs being down about 1/3 from last year helped. Monday, January 9, I was in the store early when I heard somebody walking around on my roof around 8:30 a.m. I went out to see what was going on, and saw the dentist from next door on my roof. I asked him what he was doing on my roof, and he said 'Photographing the evidence– come on up and take a look.' Overnight somebody had gotten onto the roof and cut out the cooling coils from his two rooftop heating/air conditioning units and my two rooftop units. His units had been cut up in such a way that his heat also was not working, but both of my units were still putting out heat. When the repair guy showed up, he said that there's been a lot of this going on all over the metro area. When I called my insurance company, I was told that this has been going on all over the country. The police say that 10 properties in the immediate area have been hit with the same problem. The police have some not-very-good security camera photos of a suspect and have been trying to identify the guy, but no luck yet. The dentist's insurance company replaced his 17-year-old units with new units at no cost to him. My insurance company will be repairing my 2 units (one of which was only 4 months old when it was damaged) with $1000 coming out of my pocket, and they sent a letter that if I have another claim within a year they will probably refuse to insure me again. On the morning of January 25 I received a call from the management of the apartment complex for the elderly where my mother had lived for the last 14 years, telling me that my mother had just been found to have died overnight. I was told that the police would have to come and look over the scene to see if there was anything suspicious, and when the police were done management would call the funeral home–so I should wait until the afternoon to come over. My mother had shown me where she kept her cash in the apartment and told me to come over immediately when she died before things started disappearing. When I got to the apartment about an hour and a half after the phone call, her cash, her keys, and her credit card were all missing, but mountains of other stuff had not disappeared. At work, I often feel like a horde of ducks are trying to nibble me to death, and now the horde of ducks has received massive re- inforcements. I've been very busy dealing with the funeral home, family, the social security administration, her credit card company, bank accounts, etc., and especially with sorting through all her stuff and trying to clear her apartment. I can feel myself falling farther and farther behind on things that should be done at the store. Last issue I mentioned one publisher that wanted to start charging an extra $8.00 for signed copies of some new hardcovers.

  • On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action
    On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action Some heroes act in the daily round of existing, others act at the moment. This is a book about heroes who were and who are members of the great Movement known as Scouting. Some of them received official recognition for their acts, some did not. On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action narrates stories of Scouts and Scouters who have displayed heroism in the service of fellow human beings. It is a landmark work in the history of BSP publishing. Special thanks to Bong Saculles for creating a digitized copy of this book for the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. All Rights Reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. To all the Scouts. 1 FOREWORD It is fitting that we remember the past. It is practical that we move with the times. It is important that we serve the youth of today. It is necessary that we face present realities. No monument ever suffices to honor acts of heroism. Imitation is the best praise. So the best tribute which can be rendered to people who have performed heroic acts is to publicize the deed in order that an example can be set before others to inspire them to do likewise. On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action narrates stories of Scouts and Scouters who have displayed heroism in the service of fellow human beings. It is a landmark work in the history of BSP publishing.
