Well here it is, my Blog. Amy talked me into a Blog, I had a few hesitations. Here's the thing, Amy's Blog is well nice. When I think about writing a Blog I don't think of nice things. I think of all the things in this world that bother me, things that aggravate me to no end. So, here it is. My first topic. Garage Sales and Littering. Littering bothers me. It upsets me. Especially when I see someone doing it. On Saturday I was out looking for Garage Sales. I didn't have to go far as there was one across the street. Although I would never go to a Garage Sale in this neighborhood, since I hate this neighborhood - which I'm sure will be talked about at another time. As I'm making my way to the bank I see a car stopped in the middle of the road, of course blocking both lanes, the driver is out putting up a Garage Sale sign. He gets back in his car and speeds off. As I'm still behind him he rolls down his window (music blaring) and throws out a torn up Sign in the middle of the street. Nice. He pulls over to put up another sign, I pull up right behind him. I have three children in the car, I need to calm down. All I want to do is pick up the paper he threw out of his car go up to him and throw it in his face and start screaming at him. I grab for my purse as he's staring at me get out my pen and a piece of paper and write down his license plate number. I can report him. Right? I'll show him! Being only a street away from my house I follow him, and what do you know? He's one of my neighbors. Lives two doors down on the other side of the street. Figures. Apparently since the other neighbor is having a garage sale they thought they would have one too. I'm completely disgusted. Just talking about it upsets me. He lives here, yet he throws his trash out the window. Someone will pick it up right, or hey lets let it blow away. Because we all know what happens when trash blows away, POOF it disappears. The magic fairy takes care of it. Brilliant. That pretty much sums up my neighborhood. By the way, his signs are still up. I often wonder when he drives by them does he see them? Does he think, "Hey there's my garage sale signs, maybe I should take them down?" Nah, my bet, they will be up there until I or someone else takes them down.
*I would really like to gather up all of his signs and tape them to his front door.
