Some of our neighbors are going to be in therapy soon. The
fundamentalist
Christian family four doors up just sold their house to a lesbian
couple.
I
heard about it from a neighbor who heard about it from someone on
another
street! The women haven't even moved in yet. God only knows what
they
say
about me. I sort of hope that it pushes some of them over-the-edge
and
they
move. I wonder what they say about the unmarried heterosexual couples
of
the serially divorced people who live on our street. If they only
focused
that energy on their kids. Most of them don't have a clue where their
pre-school kids are much of the day. You can't leave your garage open
while
you do yard work or they are in there exploring.



Yeah...I've seen those kids. Last week, our electric company was digging
up
front lawns for some reason in my ex wife's neighborhood. It was her
turn
when I stopped to pick up my son. There was an 8 ft deep 10x10 hole in
the
ground, covered by boards. My son (15) pointed out to me that a board
had
been moved. In the trench were two 10 yr old kids, "exploring". They'd
tied
a rope to the fire hydrant and lowered themselves in. We returned them
to
their homes. One parent wasn't there. The other said "boys will be
boys!".
Since I don't live there any more, I don't care what they think of me,
so
I
whispered the truth in her ear. If there weren't laws against assault, I
think she would've assaulted me. :-)


The popular toys this year seem to be motorized cars and scooters. The
fundamentalist, who don't watch their kids, got their 4 year old an
electric
Jeep. Last night around dusk, he slammed it into the neighbors mailbox
post, breaking the post. It was a hit-and-run. Another neighbor saw it
and
let our neighbor know what happened. When they approached the boy's
father
to tell him what happened, the man didn't even express any concern or
apologize. I guess he said that the post was most likely rotted anyway
and
after looking at it he just walked away. After a few steps, he turned
around and said if it didn't "cost too much" he would help pay for the
damage! I wonder if they teach that in the Old Testament or the New
Testament?



Why didn't someone call the police?
