City water here. City sewer here. Been in this house 24 years. No
problems (yet).

Three HOA pools here. No maintenance for me...

Kill trees to pollute the atmosphere? Shame.

No solar here. Shame on me. But then my electricity comes from the
nuclear plant 30 miles away so maybe no shame on me??

No electrical problems yet but I do call the plumber from time to time.

Nothing like that here.

Love those gas stations down the street. My cars a year old now so all
repairs are warranty.

Of course I can be tracked. I can't think of anyone who would want to
track me though. It would be very boring for them...

I suppose. Sounds like a bit of paranoia thinking to me though.

Agreed. A court order is likely needed for a spouse. But hiring someone
to do the spouse tracking can likely be illegal.

Agreed. So can you. Go to the doctor? It's online. Pay taxes? It's
online. Use a credit card? It's online. Have a bank account? It's
online. Etc etc etc. All available to the computer bad guys (and office
personnel). And you'll probably never know they're (gasp) looking at it...

They'd have to break into my house to have access to my toys. If that
happens I suspect the toys would be gone, not key-logged. And unlike you
I keep all my home stuff locked (even my phone) with 5 digit pins so as 
to give me time to change the necessary passwords...
