Question:
There are some serious bike thieves on or around Willow Avenue . After parking my bike in front of the house for a year , nothing happened until last week , when someone stole my wheel . It was an old Trek , and time for an upgrade anyway , but still really annoying . So then I got a newer bike from Craigslist . I bought a cable , which I ' ve wrapped through my wheels in addition to the U Lock I was already using .

What may be the reason for suddenly having trouble in the neighborhood ?
Answer:
They have new neighbors .

Question:
Taping off places that need to be protected . Once that was done , the first big task was to re - stain the woodwork . One thing I 'll say for this house is that it has nice six - panel doors , which were originally stained a medium brown rather than painted . Unfortunately all the doorframes and the baseboards ( too narrow and too obviously off the cheap builder 's shelf to be graceful ) were stained to match , setting the whole place instantly and unmistakably in the 1980 's .

Why does staining certain elements make it " unmistakably in the 1980 ' s " ? .
Answer:
None of the above choices .

Question:
That seems young as I sit here in Panera ( yeah , I took the day off ) looking at a table of 12 old men having their weekly breakfast with each other .

What may happen if I stay home instead of going to Panera ?
Answer:
I may sleep a little bit .
