If I don't know who you are, I won't answer the door.

That is the philsophy that I have here.  In my opinion, you HAVE to do that around here.  I go to the door with my phone in hand.  Ready to call the police if I have to.  I'm not naive.

I do the same with the phone - yes, I screen phone calls.  If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer.  If it is important, a message will be left.  And I will return your call.  With the elections going on here with Harry Reid, I cannot tell you how many propoganda phone calls we've received from either party.  Sorry folks, that's not going to influence my vote.

So, after thought and consideration, I am going to do the same with the blogs.  Why on earth would I let people "into" our blog when I don't know them?  Hm.  Some food for thought that I have been chewing on and finally decided to swallow. 

That being said, we will be going private.  If you were on my list before, you still are.  If you were not and would like access to the blog, email me at catyates at gmail dot com.  Have a good weekend!
