Being vigilant is second nature, learn to listen to dogs in the neighbourhood, one gets to know when there is unusual movement around at night.
Definitely you had a pattern unfolding, they tend to pounce on new arrivals to areas. Dogs have been sleeping indoors since 1990 when theft of dogs was exceptionally high down here.
When they arrived with census I gave extremely brief, on need to know basis, told them the banks, municipality, SARS and everyone has the information, go get anything else they require through those channels.
Never saw census again, logically thinking in hindsight, had the census been done in regions where people are living on river beds, in shanty towns they would have had a good idea on danger six months ago, immense numbers residing there!

Nothing wrong with a bit of dreaming! And who knows...maybe we can also say... "and this too shall pass"... It just feels like an eternity while being in this situation.
Are you guys coping down there on that side?
Some have water, others still waiting, electricity and internet very intermittent, we will survive of that I am sure.
Shocked by bad behavior of some, makes one question what it takes to simply consider others!
Hope you are all getting back to semblance of normal once again.
Sounds very similar to what we have here. Personally, we are fine so far and have running water and electricity, but all around us, people are battling...then there is water but no electricity, and then the other way around...
Yes, the behavior of some people just makes no sense...
I was talking to a guy this morning and he told me how they only have one route to get out of their neighborhood, due to the other roads being closed. Now that one route gets blocked off by certain elements and money is demanded from these residents, otherwise, they can't get out...
Our region set up during strikes last year with WhatsApp plus a walkie talkie system conveying messages, when floods hit this has become means of communication once again.
Route to the city has stoning and tyre burning again over last couple days, when people are trying to get back to work.
Mob mentality hinders more than helps!
Wow! I don't have words fr what is happening in this country...
We also have neighborhood watch groups on Whatsapp to communicate what's happening and where and to support one another. But I like your walkie-talkie idea!
