HUMM...
NOW I AM WORRIED..
Hiddy Ho Good Neighbors and Friends!
I have an update for those of you who might be interested in the rat, cat, dogs, overachiever cop, cannon blasting that has been a large part of my life lately.
I am slightly worried these days.. I don't know exactly what has taken place.. I put out the "death for rats with just one bite" poison the day after I wrote the last entry and as of yesterday.. this is the spooky part.. I have not seen or heard from rat.... or cat.. humm..
They have both disappeared! This is a true mystery involving their arrival as well as their departure... I just don't know what the deal was .. and probably never will .. but I have never heard of a rat who had his own cat before! The good news is they are both ..
GONE!
YEEEHAAWWW BABY!
As for Mr. Cannon Blaster neigbor, I have come up with a solution to the problem I believe and something to keep the over active imaginative cop neighbor on someone elses case instead of mine!
There are no watermelons left on that guys patch that are any good at all.. there is nothing left to harvest .. but the cannon is still blasting every hour on the hour.. so I am going to go and ask Mr. Policeman of the Year to ask him to turn the thing off!
What do you think of that solution folks? I myself am hoping it is a stroke of lockerridge genius, finally shining through the fog.. but it could backfire I suppose.. but then again.. I don't think I can stand much more of waking up thinking someone has shot the rat who has chewed the hole in the wall of lockies house much longer...
The horse has been shining on the neighbors a bit .. hehehe.. I love it! She will stand over at the fence and call her and call her.. and Artie just flips her tail at her! hahahahaha!
yeah it is still funny!
I mean I just don't understand people much anymore.. they don't even ask if they are welcome at your house or they act like my animals are community property or something!
I come from the country.. in the country you never take such liberties with other peoples things! I suppose this is the reason there are no hunting and no trespassing signs up all over the place anymore. When I was growing up, I was taught the best way to be a good neighbor is respect the neighbors things and his intelligence.
I am surrounded by people who have moved to the country trying to get away from the attitudes and evilness of the big cities .. they are looking for good quiet schools for their kids.. they are looking for a place to get some crime free rest. But they have no idea how to gain that kind of thing! I just can't handle the lack of respect they show for me and my things much longer.. and the new police force that is in effect for the smallest town in the world.. mine.. is unreal.. this town maybe has 1500 people all told.. and most of them are retired people who have lived here all their lives. The town has .. count them now... 15 churches.. yeppers... 15... but the town council has deemed it necessary for them to hire and outfit.. 5 cops! 3 full time and 2 part time.. each one has their own police car!!!
The last crime was probably commited two years ago and it was probably somebody stealing someones newpaper out of their yard.
I also have finally figured out how to manage to get Homer to actually finish a job he starts.. I just don't finish it for him! I am so embarrassed to know that I have not figured this out until age 50... maybe I should think a lot more on this subject .. it seems to get results.. he put the wall back together that he tore apart anyway.. so it managed to get results this time.
My son came up this week.. and infomed me that next spring he is moving to Cleveland Ohio... OMG!
If it isn't one thing it is 15 and I believe it is time to reup my script for valium.. I feel a lockie meltdown coming on!
lol..
love to everyone from lockie
