WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

This morning was a bit of a doozy for me and my neighbors. It turns out that one of the brownstones on my block houses a family of criminals. I didn't realize this until today but then things started coming back to me. Like the time last summer when it was pouring rain out and there was a guy who was so drunk off his ass, yelling at someone to "STOP STARING AT ME!!". I looked but I didn't see who he was yelling at, but he kept that shit up for a good half an hour and then I thought he was maybe yelling at me! Then there were all the times I heard drunk people shouting at each other for hours on end, (seriously, hours, these people could keep up a fight). Sometimes when they fought, some feral cats would be out there fucking so the noise would get co-mingled. And then there was the time last week when the cops were out there and one woman was apparently filing some sort of complaint on her front stoop about the other woman who was standing there. The complaint kind of went like this "I DON'T TRUST HER! I DON'T TRUST HER!" and the cop basically staring off into space, wishing he was still at the bar.

Today's drama consisted of 2 ambulances, 3 cop cars, and a fire truck. I have no idea what happened but I did hear the drunk guy has been in prison for a few months now and they are very bad people.

SUMMER IDIOCY

I just got out of the shower before and you know when you don't notice a noise until it stops? Well I realized that one of my neighbors had been mowing their lawn. MOWING THEIR LAWN!! We get ONE nice day out here, and people have fucking lawns to mow already?? We had a nor'easter one week ago today and all of sudden your lawn has now grown enough to warrant a mowing?! Is this just a little to the left of wishful thinking?? Optimism gone too far? And I live in a neighborhood where a 1'x1' patch of dirt with dog shit around it constitutes a "lawn". You could cut that with a scissors, you don't need some gasoline powered, sit-on, John Deere for this shit!
