I usually take a short walk - about 15 minutes - nearly every morning and several different routes I take. I've been doing this for years.

Recently, on one route I pass by a certain house and a female voice calls out, "Hi!" and then continues for about a sentence that I can't make out.

This is new.

After a few repeats every time I pass by the driveway it dawns on me that it's some kind of recording. The house the driveway belongs to has security signs set up. I figure it has something to do with the security system and try not to be startled when I hear it.

It wasn't until last night that I figured out what the full recording was: "Hi! You are being recorded." I think it's a standard warning for a particular brand of video surveillance system. Okay.

So this morning when my presence triggered the warning I did a little 15 second dance and ended the performance by 'walking like an Egyptian'. I hope they will enjoy the show.

I love it (however you say that in hieroglyphics).

*I* would have loved it.
