OK, picture this. My catty-corner neighbor has built a ramp out of 2 pieces of cheap aluminum to help his wife come down in her wheely thingie. The a board goes at the curb, old piece of plywood, so she can get TO the street. The covers for both his and hers (yes, they have a matching pair), are old BBQ covers. He's built some kinda lean-to against his part of the house with canvas, rattan rugs, plastic and whatever else. They sit out there all day fighting and drinking either beer or liquor, haven't seen what it is and don't wanna know. Today, once again, as on a daily basis, he's drunk as a skunk and there must be one day a week where wifey lets him play his music as loud as he wants. My TV is at top volume, I can still hear the music, and it's heavy metal. He then sings louder than the music, which just enhances the whole experience.
Then there's the Thursday night scavenger hunt where people drive around and pick up garbage put out by homeowners. Two week ago, I watched a guy and his wife pull up in a brand spankin new mini-van, seats pulled out, filled to the gills so much he had to rip off the oven door, the burners and the drawer from the stove left out by my neighbor. And he had to squeeeeeeeeeeeeze that in. He then asked if he could leave the stove in the driveway here for about 30 minutes. Couldn't do it, I just rent. So he jams the stove on top of a metal outdoor patio table, a huge one, with no protective blanket, and sorta kinda maybe ties it down. Does he use bungee cords? Well of course not, that would make sense. It's some old string he had and off he drove. I was waiting for everything to come tumbling out the back hatch since nothing was tied down, all thrown in, and the stove and table to come crashing down the side of the van. Nope, musta made it home safely, I never heard a bing-bang-boom.
This is one weird city lemmetellya, I won't even start on the munch I went to last night. Let's just say it was the first and last time I'll go. Eye & brain bleach needed for that story. [;)]
