A safe thread has gotten some attention lately.  This reminds us to bolt them down.

And tell your kids.  About 16 years ago doorbell rang at 3 A.M. straight up.  We have a mantle clock that chimes on the hour.  I woke up and saw the time and thought it was the clock.  By the time I realized it was the door bell, my 12 year old was already at the door.
