No Trees Now – Just Sawdust and Ruts

Finally have my backyard close to normal – just in time for all the leaves that are falling to need raking. The bitch next door was stupid enough to pay that tree guy the entire amount of his bill before he was done. He must be some kind of con artist. He told her that his big chain saw broke on the job he was doing for her and that the only way he could finish was for her to give him some money for him to go buy a new one. So she gave him the cash and he stayed gone for another week or two.

Yesterday he showed up in his green pickup truck with a helper and the two of them worked in her backyard and my backyard all day. He cut up and pulled the tree out of my yard but left piles sawdust on the ground. And the truck made big ruts in the side yard. When I came outside to talk to him, he immediately apologized for the mess and explained everything. He made his helper come over with a shovel and spread dirt into the ruts, then stomped on them to pack down the dirt and mud. It still looks a little rough because of the bare patches, but I guess in the spring the grass will grow back over the tracks and no one will notice so much.

Trees Still in My Yard

OK – this is really getting old. The bitch next door has not talked to me one time about this fucking mess in my back yard. The guy she hired to cut down her trees cut them so they fell in my yard. He cut up some of them to haul them away, but left most of it still laying in my yard. He never came back to finish cutting them up. It’s not like I want to go out there with a chain saw and cut up her fucking trees.

I don’t even know what kind of crime this is – having someone elses trees in my yard is what? Littering? What the fuck am I am supposed to do to get these trees gone?

My Neighbor is a Bitch

That old biddy who lives next door is a real pain in my ass lately. First of all, she has a lot of big trees in her back yard like everyone in this neighborhood and they keep falling during storms. She’s had 3 fall on her house and cause a lot of damage over the years, but she can’t afford to get them cut down. So she waits until they fall on her house and then the insurance company has to pay for the tree removal and the house repairs – after a $500 deductible. So she has already spent $1,500 on insurance deductibles and risked her life with having trees fall on her house – the back part that is her bedroom and bathroom.

So, she finally gets some redneck lowlife to come last week to cut down a couple of the trees that worry her the most. I have no idea what bargain rate she thought she was getting. This asshole cut down two of them and made a huge mess in MY backyard. The trees fell into my yard and now he is back there cutting on the fallen trees with a chain saw. So there is sawdust all over the yard, and when he backed his truck down to load it up with the wood, it got stuck in the mud and made huge ruts in my grass all over the back yard and the side yard. And when he left with that first load, he left three quarters of the huge logs in my yard and never came back to finish the job.

I finally went over to knock on her door and find out what the fuck is going on with her trees in my yard. She didn’t even answer the door. I know the bitch is home – I saw her drive up and park in the garage. MAYBE she was in the bathroom and couldn’t come to the door. But I think she saw it was me through the window and just didn’t want to talk to me about the problem.

Swamp People Are Some Scary Fuckers

swamp people

Have you watched that cable show called “Swamp People”? Those guys are some scary weird mother fuckers. Good god – I can’t understand a word those fuckers say except, “That’s an eight footer! That’s an 8 footer!”

I mean, what is it about killing alligators that makes a TV shows? Fuck me – I’m so glad I don’t live down there. Remind me to stay the fuck away from swamps – I’m more concerned about those kind of fucked up people being down there than I am worried about alligators.

No Bird Shit Yesterday

The next chapter in my bird shit saga is good news. I parked my car on the east side of the building yesterday. There is a lot of activity on that side, because that is where the loading dock is for the whole building. There is constant traffic over there with delivery trucks and moving vans, so birds are less likely to hang around with all that noise and activity.

Just out of curiosity, when I left work I drove around to the south side of the building and noticed that there were several cars parked on that side that had white splotches of bird shit on them. So I think I figured out to park on the other side for a while. I don’t even know what kind of birds these are, but sometimes I see huge flocks of Starlings swarming in the sky. I hadn’t noticed any Starlings lately, but I haven’t been looking for them, either. We don’t really have pigeons around here, although there are some downtown. I wonder what the fuck is shitting on our cars in Cools Springs now?
