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
 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.

Comments welcome,

I was just sitting here this morning thinking that there had been nothing to remark about here in the Park lately. Kinda quiet like and nearly 2 weeks since any thing out of the ordinary. Then again it’s a trailer park so what is normal.

Then just before dark for some unknown reason idiots start firing off “mortar” type
 fireworks just down the street. Now what fool shoots fireworks for Memorial Day. Maybe their brain was too saturated with booze to remember you do that on July 4th. Either way all the dogs in the neighborhood were losing their minds.

Called the county and while speaking with the nice lady on the phone I realized how dumb it was. This is the county! No law against blowing yourself or the neighbors up with fireworks. Heck, you can shoot your gun in the street as long as your not drunk or shooting at other houses or people. Sometimes city living has it’s advantages. So we sat and watched TV interspersed with “Whoomps” and booms from the fireworks till they ran out of them or passed out, whichever must have come first, but at least it’s quiet now.

We “almost” made it two weekends without any weirdness. Now shooting of fireworks in and of itself is not weirdness, but shooting them DOWN the street instead of in the air is a bit strange when they are huge mortar type fireworks designed to be fired into the air.

Comments welcome, if I can hear them.
