Had an interesting experience just yesterday.

Usually I keep all the doors locked unless I am working outside (I have a little trouble instilling the same level of guardedness in my wife and forget the kid) except maybe the one immediately adjacent to where I am working.

I don't know what happened, my brain just slipped a gear I guess, but yesterday I went out through the garage, after unlocking the back door so I could get in and close the garage, took the ladder and paint out into the (fenced so you can't see the garage) yard, and never went back in to close the garage.

A little while later something kind of tickled the back of my mind and I went to see if I had closed the garage, and there was one of the neighbor's kids coming out leading their dog.

Now this is a little kid, I don't suspect that he was trying to steal anything, but it would be awfully easy for him to get hurt on some of the stuff out there, so it worries me that I slipped up like that. Maybe it's time to add an outside device to open and close the garage.
