Has anyone else ever headed out for a Friday night dinner, or packed the car for a weekend trip, and made sure to leave a living room lamp on before locking the front door?

Police warning: The envelope holding your bill should not be this easy to read through

Last Tuesday, I was at the kitchen table sealing two envelopes when I held one up toward the lamp without even thinking about it. I could not read every line, but I could absolutely see the shape of the bill through the paper. Blocks of print. Return form. Window-shadow where the page folded.
