There are only a couple of incidents that made me feel uncomfortable. One time while on my way to an ATM machine a fellow walking towards me on a street sidewalk stepped over directly in my path and pointed his index finger directly at me like saying \"You\". I stopped, turned around, and removed my camera from my fanny pack and turned it on and zoomed in on him as he walked away, but he never turned around and I did not take a photo. It may have been some loony guy, but he was dressed decently neatly (that is, his clothing was clean), and did not interfere with others on the street as he was walking. The best single description of the experience I can say was that it was \"spooky\". Another time I saw a police officer who did not like me repeatedly pat his holstered .45 Colt 1911 A1 and say, \"Do you want to play?  Do you want to play?\".  He\'s been indicted for threats as a result thereof, and was the reason I was given body-guards, but the truth is having body guards just makes me nervous and they always want to carry my bags and stuff, like they are there to serve me.  I\'ll carry my own bags, thank you.

Fortunately, members of my family are quite financially secure and each have their own homes. Few years ago we lived in the Philippines for a year and my husband was glad he did not have to experience the same thing. I am wondering if crime is really that bad over there that you have to have three bodyguards. I am feeling a bit apprehensive as we are planning to go back home and stay for quite a long while. You have got a very good looking pup. I am an animal welfare activist and it is wonderful to know that there are people who look after their pets well. Kit Hi,
