Dude, you scare me! But seriously, the CIA should hire you

We not subscribed to any service, haven't had a need for one. But the first employee seemed to be on the same page, but the silence is deafening. Their email acknowledgment was a good start. I might stop into one of their stores for some closing stuff and try to ask about timing. The...
