A young man and woman came and knocked on my door and said they were from the University of Long Beach (80 mi away) and were selling magazines for personal use or I could send a subscription to the the troops overseas. They said it was a contest and the winner would get $1000.00 cash and a trip to some far off land I don't remember. So I opted to buy two for $63.00 ea (one from each of them) and send them to the troops as I have friends and family who are or were military.
I asked them if they were thirsty and they said yes so I had my daughter go grab them a couple of water bottles, set them on the front porch but as soon as they had checks in hand they said thanks and started to walk, I said you forgot your bottles and they replied it's ok, obviously wanting to split fast.
I watched them walk to the end of the driveway and to the right but as I walked past my front window I saw they had doubled back and gone to the left.
