Hi. The young man in the rain also came to my door. My dog made such a ruckus that I just shook my head, ‘no’ smiled and closed the door. I, too, encountered the young woman yesterday in our neighborhood. She did not appear to be going door-to-door she just sort of showed up out of no where and gravitated to a group of us with our dogs on someone’s front yard. Another woman not from the neighborhood was was walking at the same time. The woman said she was selling magazines. She said she was from St. Louis and selling the magazine to support her son. She was very young. It could be the annual onslaught of magazine sellers that show up, or the folks casing houses for break-ins. The magazine sellers tend to be very pushy and never stop talking you literally have to walk away from them.
I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks for these reports.
