I think it may be time to resurrect Project Go Away here at our (somewhat) new apartment. I have recently noticed an upswing in the amount of solicitors we've had knocking on the door. Unlike the old place, which had a broad variety of hucksters and missionaries, here it is mostly older folks doing the Work of The Lord. For some reason, our street has become a favorite spot. It is not unusual to see a cluster of 12 or 15 of them gathered at the top of the street, waiting to fan out, and now they are not just sticking to Saturday mornings.

I have had a couple of kids selling stuff as well, unfortunately, none of them Girl Scouts with cookies, a product I might actually buy if it showed up at my door uninvited.

Project Go Away was when I posted a polite warning not to bother us, and then started filming and interviewing the people who ignored the sign. With a new political season coming upon us, I'm sure political boosters will be added to the mix, and I will be home much more over the coming months taking care of the baby.
