Eventful Weekend

We had one good thing happen that was significant. Our son's gaming channel received it's 100th subscriber and while this is just a tiny drop in the bucket of the number of subscribers needed to call the channel financially successful, getting 100 subscribers caused the channel to pass some sort of threshold that triggered a game developer to offer our son a free glimpse with access to a pre-release game so our son could play, comment and rate the game online. This priviledged access could bring in even more subscribers and begin a more rapid growth cycle.
On the down side, someone apparently sprayed some kind of chemical(pepper spray?) through our backyard fence into our dogs' faces and eyes causing them pain. Someone also jumped the curb in front of our how with their vehicle and left tire marks in our yard. Both my debit card and my son's debit card were blocked by the bank. My wife called to get them unblocked but the bank refused due to suspicious activity. When we requested exactly what suspicious activity they declined to answer. After haggling why I'm being treated as a criminal and threatening to call back on a smart phone equipped to record phonecalls, the service guy abruptly ended the call and the cards were unblocked.

A lady ( she's no lady) whom is from the family from which we suspect sprayed our dogs was witnessed to be whistling to our dogs to summon them to the fence. ( my sentences look like some contraption I build from junk in my backyard). Anyway my son stood by as she did this. As soon as she realized he was there she scurried away. We have redirected our security cameras to cover that fence line. We will be placing tarps on the fence so that if they try to spray the dogs again, they will have to reach over the fence thereby exposing themselves to our cameras. Then they'll get FaceBooked/ YouTubed.
