This morning I got another call that the door was locked, from someone who had
my number.

This means someone removed the copper wire that I had twisted onto the hook to
keep the door open.  Was this really easier than making a phone tree and a
sign?

I am grateful that people stepped up to prepare for the rains last night.  I
wish people would also step up to make a phone tree (with phone numbers for CCL
and sudoroom volunteers) and make a sign for the door, to prevent the lock
latch from becoming more of a problem.
