Following Mr. Brown

In December 8th edition of the NY Times Emma G. Fitzsimmons writes of the current wave of porch thefts. No, they are not stealing porches but the thieves follow the UPS and Fedex trucks and steal packages left on the porch where nobody is at home. My yearly birthday delivery of wine usually arrives via either of these routings. The delivery man is instructed to "get a signature" and an added caveat is in the form of a label reading "Do NOT deliver to an intoxicated person!" Now, I was not aware that Mr. Brown came equipped with a breathalyzer. Nevertheless, I always tried to be dry and suck a few mints and to date have not been rejected. So be forewarned.
