Angry Neighbor Update

Things pile up sometimes - especially on a porch. A pair of flip-flops, left over from last season. A few beer bottles, leftover from my birthday. Rugs that I’ve been meaning to beat and air out; maybe even a cup.

So imagine my surprise when I came home to find all of my stuff wantonly tossed over the porch, laying on the ground to the left of the house!

Can I say for sure it was the angry neighbor?

Not really. But honestly … what kid hoodlum would toss all of the “stuff that shouldn’t be there” and leave the “stuff that should be there” like my chairs, table, candles, and guest books and ashtray?

Are teen pranksters distinguished enough to say, “Golly, this kitchen rug shouldn’t be on the porch, but I’m not touching the candles from IKEA” … and to not touch a THING on my neighbor’s side of the porch … not even his abundant collection of plants - perfect for smashing in the streets?

I think we have the work of an …

angry neighbor!!

So here’s the backlash …

The rugs have been replaced. This time, instead of being folded on one of the chairs, they’re tossed willy-nilly. Let’s see how long it’ll take him to crack!!!
