Knock knock

I have a hypothesis. I think Clairfields and Westminister Woods get canvassed by door to door solicitors more than anywhere else in Guelph. A fair proportion of those who come to my door -- three last night alone -- are not even from Guelph.
I suspect the tight clustering of homes, residences that typically house families with some disposable income, make the area a magnet. It doesn't hurt being close to highway access either for the out-of-town crew.
This week alone, I was front-doored by two reps of energy companies, two lawn care officios, a Toronto Sun seller -- I said no -- and World Vision, twice.
My kids are great for answering the door. That eliminates the pretend-you're-not-home strategy.






None available.
