Every day I see signs of the city creeping in. Every day the township fights the fight --- with good intentions but the wrong methods. They will allow people to live in single family houses but have about 30 people living in them, but heaven help the person who has a weed taller than 10" :rolleyes: They allow the gangs to spray paint like mad around here, but watch out if your house is the one they spray painted (yes, WE got a citation for spray paint that was covering our shed for a whole 18 hours -- they thought we could have painted over it as soon as we discovered it and it was dry.... forgive us for needing to run tp Home Depot for the paint to cover it!). :rolleyes:
Well I couldn't sleep last night I came down to the kitchen and made a pot of decaf tea and looked out the window. I gasped thinking there was a human on our lawn, but thought twice about it because there couldn't POSSIBLY be a human sleeping on the grass underneath the trees! I have problems seeing properly, so I thought someone just dumped their garbage on our yard (for the zillionth time - the local kids have parties and send the bags of beers cans & pizza boxes flying out their car windows so mom & dad don't find the evidence). I had forgotten all about it and went back to bed. Hubby woke me a few hours later saying "Did you know we had a visitor?" I thought he meant a chipmunk or something got intothe house! :D Nope, we had a homeless man on our yard all night. Hubby went out and woke him and asked him to move on.
Can you believe it!?!?!?! :eek:
And now I ask you: Where was the police? Our house is on a VERY BUSY street. The cops drive by a hundred tiems a night. Where were they? And you'd better be sure they'll send me a citiation tomorrow about that 10" tall dandelion I saw out there this morning.
Sigh. Anyone want a beautiful 85 year old home situated in the heart of a beautiful suburg soon-to-be-city?
