Weekend Trailer Park News! 062616

Fairly quiet except for someone firing fireworks (early 4th?) somewhere down the road. We do have a sports bike back in the park in the back some where but at least he waits till he hits the highway to try to kill himself. Meanwhile it must still be a full moon out there as within our 5 mile radius we have had mental disturbances, intoxicated and fighting families.

It made it to 104 today, I think I saw a bird using oven mitts to remove worms from the
hot mailgarden. No rain was expected so we had two thunderstorms roll through that blew over a tree just down the road, lit another on fire and tripped burglar alarms all over the area.

I did get to hear a Volunteer Fire Dept. Chaplain? Respond to a tree down in the road. No he wasn’t happening by, he actually responded to the call on his own and got out on the radio as Chaplain 1. Not sure if he was giving last rites to the tree or not. Just seems… weird.

Sorry, not to be rude, but let’s stick to helping the sick/injured and putting out the fires and save the preaching to my Preacher, call him.

Other than that nothing notable in the Park.

Has it been crazy around your place? or am I just lucky.

Life in a Trailer Park June 18th News

Well, Friday went without a hitch except for the weather when we had a 38.7mph wind blow threw that lasted so long I nearly hunted a hole to crawl into.

Saturday is a different story. We have the same two that had a verbal ruckus a week or so ago at it again this morning. Scanner says one is cursing the other when they leave the house, and one is allowing their dog to roam loose. I’m wondering if it is a full moon
barney on for tonight. Two Sheriff units arrive and stay a while and then leave in good spirits. Maybe they made everyone hold hands and sing Kuum-by-yah or something. You hardly ever get anything in the county settled by law-enforcement. Not to mention response on this call was about 30mins. Good thing no one was shooting at one another.

Face it, your in the county all the city laws just don’t work out here, are not enforceable, or the county doesn’t want to waste the manpower. The County could issue a citation for the big ole dog running loose and it would probably solve the problem, it is a scary looking Rottie and the owner doesn’t keep it up, but then they would feel like dog catchers and they rather pass the buck to the county dog warden who has to cover an entire county and chances of him happening by when the dog is lose is like a snowballs’ chance in hell.

So the problem will persist until someone throws a punch or object and then someone gets arrested. Hey maybe this is just the way people entertain themselves in a Park.

Comments always welcome,

Weekend activity heating up.

Well after a quiet Friday night out here in the country things have picked up all day for a Saturday. Fires in the field, fires on the interstate medians, house fire in town, some fights and several wrecks one of which ejected all four occupants of one vehicle, two were children. At least the children were not severely injured we’re told.

Can’t wait to see what the night brings it being hot and now a slight sprinkle has made it muggy. Alcohol and heat, two things that don’t mi well. Maybe we will get lucky and have a calm Saturday night. We certainly don’t want people getting hurt.

I programmed in the frequencies of the FRS (Family Radio Services) today and was
scaneramazed at how many use them for traveling and business. Some of the frequencies are reserved for business but I heard many people on there that apparently were oblivious to that fact. Channels 8-14 are for low power unlicensed communication. The names they come up with on some businesses to call one another makes you laugh. On the other side I got more information from those traveling near the wreck today than from the excited shouting of the emergency crews. Never have figured out why they think they need to shout into the radios to communicate.

Best of luck to all while I sit here and contemplate the day that has passed and reflect on all that has transpired.

Trailer Park News for Weekend of 06/04/16

Let’s see. Yesterday a new person that moved in with a small camper instead of a regular sized trailer, called the Sheriffs on his neighbor. It seems she was burning some leaves and paper from her garden and stuff she picked up from her yard and he found the smoke to be obnoxious. Even though burning the garden debris isn’t illegal the Deputies came and spoke with her. The neighbor had just been to the fence asking what they were doing and just as friendly as he could be. Never mentioned the smoke was bothering him. Maybe it was the wrong type of smoke?

The wife noted some scraggly looking fellow giving an elderly woman a hard time trying
burglar to convince her he needed to cut her grass for gas money. He left when he notice my wife and another woman watching. Then not 4 mins before we pulled up our neighbor was walking towards our house to tell us she had seen a scraggly looking guy (probably the same one) trying to look into the window of my office but he suddenly jumped back and she could hear Max barking. He couldn’t see in due to the shades down and curtains closed but Max must have heard him and jumped at the window! He then looked in the windows of our Durango parked out front and moved on. Crack head probably.

I checked the area but it was beginning to rain so he probably went indoors. The Sheriffs office will be given a description to look out for him. My camera on that side missed him, maybe the scum filter was too high. I just added another camera so we should get a good mug shot if he returns. I guess he thought our car being gone was an invitation. Tonight I’m here alone with Max hoping he will make a return visit, Wife is gone to son’s house for a Supper.

I’m ready if he comes back, cold glass of Tea, Max and my attack Cat “Reboot”. Oh and my Pistol of course. From the description he sounds like the guy that knocked on the door at 11:30pm one night asking to use the phone because his Dad (The nice neighbor mentioned above) had kicked him out for being out too late.

He may not return knowing there is something large and ferocious sounding inside.
