The topic: There is a car in front of our house

----------------------------------------------

A car that's been there for a week now. It hasn't moved. We thought it was someone our whiny neighbors  14110202know, but it wasn't moved when the tree trimmers showed up today, so chances are, it's no one they know.

The registration is current, the car looks clean, but it's just parked there. We're giving it another couple of weeks, then calling it in as abandoned.  It's possible someone moved it over here from a side street to get it out of the way of the work crews. They've been replacing water lines for the past month, digging up the street, replacing the asphalt for that whole time, so maybe it's just a convenience thing. Well, make it convenient in front of someone else's house. And while I'm at it...

GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!!

The topic: Another day with the tree trimmers

----------------------------------------------

They just left.  A couple of weeks ago the jackass neighbor saw Brian outside and started  in on him about the sap from the trees. "It's everywhere, it's on my van, it's on my house, it's on my screens, I track it into the house..."  bigcry

So, Brian contacted the trimmers again. And explained that they hadn't trimmed them back (on the tree hating neighbor's side) to his specifications. And now the sap was a problem (even though everyone who knows ANYTHING about trees, knows that the sap does quit flowing, but then, it's obvious not everyone knows much at all about trees, remember, "they never stop growing" and that's why so many are hitting the moon during the moon's rotation around the earth, that's not the man in the moon, that's where the trees are scraping it). biggrin The trimmers were supposed to have come last week, but it was raining, so they made it here this morning.

The supervisor was listening when Brian said something to the neighbor and he overheard more whining about the sap. He was incredulous. Really? The sap? You're having us back out here because he doesn't like the sap? Doesn't he know the sap will quit running in a couple of weeks?  Brian explained that the only way those people would be happy is if the trees are completely cut down. 

Anyway, I was thinking about that cornfield again....
