I wonder what is going on?

[SeaCat]

Well this got my attention.

This morning I received a notice informing me that a complaint had been lodged against me and my wife. The complaint? Our yard was a mess and needed to be cleaned up. It commented about piles of yard waste and building materials.

When I looked around our place I did see Pine Needles on the yard, but no piles of them as had been specified. I also didn't see piles of building materials. (I did see a bucket I use to trickle water our two new trees.)

On the other hand I did see these same piles behind my new neighbors place. Okay now I'm getting an inkling of what's going on. My wife and I set to work with a rake, bags and a trash can. We raked our yard, bagging the Pine Needles as we went. We even bagged up the piles from my new neighbors yard. (After I took pictures which clearly showed where in the yard they were.) We also picked up the wood scraps, the paint cans and other debris from their painting the outside of their place.

We had just finished and piled the bags on the curb for pickup tomorrow when the lady across the street came over to say hi. She commented on how neat our ard was and asked about our raking it. She also made the comment that she thought some was a bit strange about our new neighbors. As we were talking our neighbor pulled in. His wife came out of their place to greet him and as they were heading back in he said hi to me and my neighbor.

Well right after that the other truck registered to the place pulled in. Out climbed another guy and his wife. This guy, whom I have seen from time to time is a very cagy customer. He has bever spoken to me and always seems to be in a hurry. He didn't acknowledge us and just hustled his wife inside. (He is the one I think called in the complaint.)

Okay I'm not going to say anything right now. I am going to keep my eyes and ears open from now on though. (As is Carmen, the woman who lives across the road.) If this guy wants to pla games like this he's in for a surprise. I happen to know he's not the one who paid for the place. (The friendly guy is.) I also know the rules he's playing fast and loose with. I too have a copy of them and guess what. The rules clearly state only one family (ie husband and wife with children) per two bedroom trailer.

A few years back I worked with a guy who bought a new house. He sold his old house to finance the deal and moved into his new house. After a couple of months someone decided that his chimney was pehaps an inch too close to the property line. What he needed was his neighbor on that side to sign off on a zoning variance. The neighbor refused to sign off on the zoning variance and told my coworker that the coworker had better get to rebuilding the chimney or the neighbor would sue. The neighbor was using my coworkers driveway to get to his house, since the contractor had gone under before he got all the house stuff finished. My coworker did two things. He built a gate across his driveway and he had a new survey made. The new survey revealed that the original survey had been done from an intermediate marker that had apparently been moved. The new survey was done from a master marker for the whole block and my coworker's chimney was far enough away from the property line to meet code. The neighbor was unable to get to his driveway, since the curb on a hill was some two feet high to make sure that rainwater did not flood the houses on the downhill side of the road. The neighbor did not have the money to create a driveway and he then tried to get my coworker to let the neighbor use my coworker's driveway again. I made a two word printed sign for my coworker to answer the neighbors request. The sign said:

Fuck yourself!"

My freshman semester in college... there were 9 official university complaints filed against me.

The best part about it... all of them were absolutely true.

But... no one had the balls to actually step forward when I asked for a committee trial on being kicked off housing. The judgment came down to the administrator saying "Well... your GPA is higher than anyone who complained about you so I can't see how you could have done everything they say you did and still have such high grades."

I sat in the chair trying to look as innocent as possible... "I would absolutely never be a part of an incident involving a whip and a very sexy asian girl... not I... nope... never."

I had a neighbor, nice friendly guy and his wife, and they had been living beside me for a few months. They had a big cottonwood tree in the backyard and we was talking about how those cotton fluffs fly all over. i told him how I hated that tree ........ and .... he agreed.

To make a long story short, my lawnmower repairman also knew how to clean and sharpen chainsaws. My neighbor was able to borrow his brothers chainsaw with one stipulation, it would be cleaned and sharpened before returning it.

My neighbor chopped down the offending tree, I paid my lawnmower repairman a measley 17.50 to clean and sharpen the chainsaw which my neighbor returned to his brother.

Everbody happy.

As we were talking one day over the back fence I told them how happy I was that someone had finally bought that house, rather than renting it, and chopped down that tree which I had never liked.

He and his wife looked at each other and then he said "Oh, we are just renting"

I said I had something boiling on the stove and ran away.
