Proximity Alarm

I have one of those porchlights that comes on when something goes near it

and I like that

because I could tell if someone were at my door

and I hate that

because I always think someone is at my door.

Yes

I could turn it off

but then I won't know if someone's at my door

and I would wonder

new houses are weird

they make funny noises

they take time to adjust to

and

they apparently attract all the cats and possum in the neighborhood
to fuck with me

by turning my porch light

on

and off

  1. maybe a porch light that is not just motion sensitive, but *human* sensitive?

    *giggles*

    your like/hate relationship with the porch light sounds like my relationship with my father... lol

    Happy Thanks giving!

  2. Yeah those things can drive you nuts. I have one on the back porch. Cats love to set it off.

  3. My next door neighbor has one at the end of her walkway - shines directly into my bedroom.
    Cats, dogs, possum, skunks, fox, deer, coyote, teenage miscreants...

    Maddening.
