Strange Neighbors

What do you make of this — since I’ve started to get up at 5am to have a few hours of peace & quiet before the morning chaos, I’ve noticed the same thing happening every day right around 6:30am.  A car drives up, pulls into my neighbor’s driveway, immediately backs out of the driveway, and drives back in the direction it just came from.

What is that?  Newspaper?  Stalker?  If it is newspaper, I must say, they get much better service than we do.  Our carrier barely gets it in the proximity of our front yard.  Honestly, I’d be more inclined to return the SASE he sends me every Xmas season for “gratitude” if he got the damn thing ON or NEAR our porch.

I like to think it’s a stalker.  Former lover of the wife of the house, just letting her know he’s still out there, and can flash his headlights into her bedroom window any damn time that he wants.

Probably, though, it’s just the New York Times.  I hate the f’ing New York Times, like I hate all things that make me want something I didn’t want five minutes ago.

Anniversary

Well I’ll be. I could have sworn we began this blog after the New Year’s bash of last year, but no, our first post was November 20, 2005. Hell, I’m still writing 1998 on checks. My sense of minute (mine-oot) time is actually quite uncanny (quick, ask me what time it is!), but anything past a day and I’m lost.

Anyway, I was hoping to find some more recent action here. But no, June seems to be the last posting. It’s kind of liberating, though, to be here alone, and I wonder if anyone still checks in here. I’ll just sit a spell and whistle…then write something really profane, when I’m sure no one’s looking.
