Where I live.

Here in California, we have Megan's Law. And they have a website. On the website, you can punch in your zip code, your address, the name of your nearest park, and a variety of other criteria, and they will give you a list of all the registered sex offenders (with addresses and photos) in your neighborhood.

In the case of my new place, a list of 103. Disturbing enough; but you know me, I had to keep picking. So I checked my last two zip codes - 16 in my last place, and an astonishing 2 in my first place. I'm definitely slipping...but of course now I have a Rottweiler.

Just don't tell my mom, she'll flip out.
