You make a good point; it's probably better to just watch than to go and get involved.

One thing that perplexes me is a young man with a white cane with a red tip. He is blind, right? Not so fast on the judgment because 2 days ago I saw him running very fast with his cane tucked under his arm. I said, "faker!". But not out the window. Because god forbid he really is blind and I become the neighbourhood monster who makes fun of the blind.

The feathers make much more sense now. Our previous home was in the country not nearly as remote as yours but its was almost scary how quiet it would get at night. Until the meth neighbors pickup trucks would roar down the street at 2:00 a.m.!Dexter Klempererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09784907794594595648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722391036536808937.post-13880128903848872642013-09-27T03:32:15.644-05:002013-09-27T03:32:15.644-05:00I really don't have any neighbours close by, D...I really don't have any neighbours close by, Dexter. That fellow with the feathers up his butt is just a figment of my imagination...I think! <br /><br />Where I live here I'm surrounded by much land, lots of trees, hares, birds, wood ducks and scrub turkeys, but no nearby visible neighbours or houses....something I relish! <br /><br />My landlords live on this same block of land...which is an area of 3 acres (1.2 hectares)...but their home is up one end of the property and my cabin is down the other end with lots of trees in between, blocking our view of each other...again something I relish, and cherish!<br /><br />But I might just go and put my night goggles on...because I thought I saw an outline in the moonlight...it could be a possum, of course...or that darn scrub turkey! Where is Wile E. Coyote when I need him??<br /><br />It's not my landlord because he and his wife flew off to the UK on Tuesday night...those feathers must work! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722391036536808937.post-2000273395580182232013-09-26T14:31:17.068-05:002013-09-26T14:31:17.068-05:00Good point, plus in Texas you have to assume every...Good point, plus in Texas you have to assume everyone is armed. I think I was mostly amazed at how unconsciously I picked up on these daily events. Hope to have curtains in the office soon to cut down on the distractions.

I think everyone thinks their life is uninteresting for the most part. And then you go and do something like making out on the porch or putting feathers up your butt, and suddenly you're pretty interesting.

He thinks he's keeping the neighborhood safe I guess.<br /><br />"Date to the prom" LOL! I have to remember to use that line in the future. Based on my own experience or lack thereof, I found it troubling that he wasn't seizing the day or anything else.

I have nothing to hide so I couldn't give a damn if the government is spying on me...they really have more interesting people and things to be spying on then me, however. My life is simple...and probably extremely boring to all others, including the government/s!<br /><br />I am wondering now, though, why my neighbour is always sitting up in his tree over there!! I thought it was a scrub turkey at first; but his coughing gave him away, not the feathers stuck up his butt! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722391036536808937.post-1624847023578391202013-09-25T18:23:00.493-05:002013-09-25T18:23:00.493-05:00OMG, your timing couldn't be funnier - I was j...OMG, your timing couldn't be funnier - I was just bitching about Google ruining privacy this morning.

No...Well, you have given me plenty to think about. Now if I make out on the front porch, I won't be the aggessor. <br /><br />You certainly have a cast of characters in your neighborhood. Floppy eared hats in TX in July. That person is insane...possibly dangerous.<br /><br />AND what whackadoodle parks his car on his neighbor's driveway? I wouldn't allow that as I tend to be very territorial. I don't go around my house marking it in any obscene way but still...what is mine is mine.<br /><br />AND what is wrong with young boys there? There was an open invitation and it took him a long time to even butt grab. Damn, with today's lax views on sex, he could have been getting a.......ummmm.. well....you know....a.date to the prom.
