Questions for a chilly evening

Braving the porch tonight has brought up several questions.

Who are the new neighbors... The rental house two doors down has new tenants. Since there were half a dozen people there unloading and no one actually stayed, there is no way to know who is living there. I'm going to be honest I an not happy with any of the possible choices. The boys aren't happy either because they lost their alternative parking spot (the rental house's driveway) as well as the second recyclable can they snagged from the back as soon as the last tenant moved out. Now there is no where for all those empty beer bottles to go on Sunday afternoon.

What kind of parent or parents are letting their children play in the street at 9:30 PM on a Wednesday. Is April 29th some type of school holiday I don't know about? There are at least two and possibly more little goofballs running in the middle of the road yelling and screaming. Fine parenting! At one point there was a repeated cry of "Are you alright?" in a unique urban hillbilly accent one can only find in T-town.

Lastly, where does all this traffic come from on a Wednesday night? This place is Grand Central Station. There is nothing near here of interest except the 7-11 and believe me it is not that interesting. We aren't "on the way" to anything. There is no construction forcing intra-neighborhood travel. Maybe it's just a good night for a drive down crappy pothole infested streets where you are able to dodge badly parked cars and children who should have been in bed.

  1. i have always found your street to be freakishly busy, traffic wise, for such an out of the way thing.
