Trailer Park Life

Life in a Trailer Park can sometimes be funny, sad, crazy or plain interesting.

Monday in May

Well apparently someone is out to buy some drugs. Someone broke into a vehicle 4 doors down and stole the radio out of their truck. We are still relatively quiet right here in the Park. The Troll was out cutting grass today. He came by the other day and you could see the sugar dripping from his lips as he bragged on our yard. I don’t forget easily, if his old truck breaks down I won’t answer my door.

Nothing but a really kicking Monday evening storm going on for this first entry in May. I have unplugged everything electrical here in the hobby room/office “just in case”.

Scanner reports water rising in someone’s house a few miles down the road. We just had  a quarter-inch in the last hour. It seems to be slackening some now.

A trip to the Dollar General greeted me with a line 9 deep at the register but I didn’t want to drive to town in the storm so I sucked it up. They barely had enough stuff on the shelves for me to get what I needed. Couple drinks, some lunch ham. Slim pickings on the drinks too and this is Monday.

Karma takes a day off.

It’s time for an update from the home front in the Park I guess.

Some redneck got a Motorcycle (one way or another) for a late Christmas present I guess. for three days he would fly up and down the highway with a very inefficient muffler. It was the Sport-bike variety so he thought it had to do 0-Warp Factor 2 on each exit from the trailer park.

You hate to wish harm on most people but it was getting so bad that even though you didn’t want the idiot to get hurt, you wished somehow the motor would blow up or he would crash it and walk away but put an end to the noise.

Fortunately the County Deputies just happened to be coming down the road yesterday after several of us made calls reporting the suicidal idiot when he made one of his Kamikaze runs out of the park and down the road. It had no tag on it, and judging by this book’s cover he probably had no license or insurance or ownership papers either. They must have impounded it and him as neither has been seen in two days. Sad part is the idiot has a 3 week baby at home. With all those wishing to adopt a child this idiot and his significant other are able to reproduce.

There just seems to be those days when Karma takes a day off and us lesser souls have to call the authorities.

Comments welcome,

Well, life here in the park is interesting sometimes. After two weekends of quiet we finally had some activity today. At 11:40pm this Saturday night a vehicle flipped over by
itself about 100 yards down the highway from us, probably drunk. The driver refused medical treatment and I don’t know what they ever did with him. I started to get the GoPro out but about 5 mins later some idiot knocks on my door at 11:38pm wanting to borrow a phone to try to wake his dad up that lives two doors down.

According to the young man he just got out of jail Friday and was staying with his father. He left 15 mins ago and came back and the father had locked his doors and would not answer. So genius decides to call the Sheriff to help him get his dad’s attention so he could get his stuff. Geesh!

He had been incarcerated for drug paraphernalia. I answered the door with my gun behind my back and Max standing there growling at him. I though Max was going to make a happy meal out of the boy.

It all ended well and he went on his way after using the phone. What idiot knocks on a door of people you don’t know at almost midnight, especially right after getting out of jail. It took the Deputy 25 mins to arrive, and then the Deputy takes him to his grandmothers house cross county.

It’s working so far…

Well, it’s been about 2 weeks now since I blocked the shortcut through our yard that some lazy people were taking. It had worn a driveway through part of our yard before we moved here, and I got tired of mud being splashed up on our new vehicle. So I parked the big ole Durango smack in the middle of the shortcut in the yard (after all it is our yard they are using.).

I am slowly filling in the worn areas with leaves and dirt and hopefully grass will grow again.

I have noticed some of the three or four vehicles that used to use it looking as they drive by but no verbal reactions so far so I think all is good. People are just so lazy these days and don’t respect the property of others.

I guess we can say for this project, “All well that ends well”.
