yet another opossom and more on the mean new neighbors!
I think it should be more like a day in the life of a opossom. It's really weird. Okay so including the one the neibor caught that time. This brings our total count up to 13. We have ourselves caught 12. Its really weird though. Normally when I have the cage set and leave the cat food outside I catch nothing. Well the night before last I had the cage set up with grapes and some catfood. Nothing. Then last night I forgot to take up the cat food. the pan was almost full of food. The cage was still set. I later remembered I forgot to take it up but I said oh, well I'll try to do better next time. So, I thought why bother going out there to check. With a whole pan of catfood why would it want the grapes in the cage? Well I was reading a new book I got. A manga called Galaxy Angels. I've seen a few episodes but I wanted to try the book. Well I was reading and I heard an odd noise outside. I'm thinking, great I must have caught a cat or something. Well to my great surpise there was a opossom! I'm think this is one weird opossom. He prefers grapes over catfood wierd. There was a pan between the cage and cusions set out for the cats to sleep on. For some reason it chose the grapes over the catfood. Then when we went to release it, well we'd rather not let anyone know if it can be avoided what we're doing. Well a lady was walking her dog so we went around a bend past her. just after release it, I saw someone in a house across the street out watering with his dog running around. It's like great, just what we were trying to avoid, anyone knowing we're releasing them into this wooded area.


Speakong of the green house it needs lots of work but that's besides the point. I want to kill now! My mom things they are called mud dobbers. Like yellow jackets but she said they don't sting. One nest is one my window! Another is on a lower level window but I haven't gotten the guts to do anything about them yet. Plus we're still having trouble with our stupid new neighbors. First they cut my moms plant down, now they contuinue to bitch and moan to the city on us. My mom thinks that to them we are just renters and if they complain enough we'll move out and let their relivtives move in. I guess bullying people worked for them in california, which is what their licence plates say their from, but their in Texas now. Their messing with people who don't back down easily. Well they're going to the extreame now. There's another family living there. they have three boys guessing ages 5-10. Well my mom caught them in our backyard just looking around. Then they wanted a crystal globe my mom keeps in a swan scupture. They though it was a ball and wanted to throw it around! Then another wanted a bird bath just to give to his mother. We have a feeling that by the time these kids get older they will be major theives. They're already getting a jump start on it. I took our dog out and as I letting her back in I noticed these kids stating around by the car! My mom went out there and it seems they stole well I never saw it but she said it was a plastic little bird thats wings twirled in the wind, she got it back but still. We're wondering if they are the ones who threw the eggs. One egg was against a wall that's a garden. and the other was behind the car. My mom has some plasitic fish on statues that the lady next door gave her for a birthday present. They've been sitting quietly in this pot for the longest. I told my mom that would be next. So we had to bring them in.

We had a washingmaching that broke. they called an complained and they said we had 1 day to get rid of it. The lasy next door later commented that she had an appliance and it took two or three days before the city would get to it. We moved it behind a fence we have streatched arcoss our house and theirs. Laster a man that collects metal came and got it. They complained about our grass being over 12 inches! We finally got the yard settled enough even though we never mowed it till later. I told my mom the other day when we saw their grass was well over 12 inces and the fact that their bitching about us. they have a board against their house and a screen door that's been there over a month since they moved in. But yet they don't get into trouble. My mos always been well we can't do that, lets give them time to calm down. They did just move here. Its like screw that they got us into trouble twice just to try to force us to move!

Finally these last two times broke that. We had a metal arch that's missing pieces and was in front of our car that you couldn't even see unless you wanked over and a few other things in the front yard. They bitched to the city again and they said that and the palm trees and crapemertal tree grew out since July to stop her from seeing. Well we haven't moved and she's still pissed so she had I'd say those kids snoop around and try to find more. Well we have a deck that extrends out from the house. Well with bushes and things you can't see it from the street and be lucky to see it from her place. She calls and complains on it! My mom asked it was a new inspector, she asked him how what's on the deck that can't even be seen from the street is anyones buisness and asked who was doing this, as if she didn't already know. But he didn't answer as to why the deck had to be cleaned up but said he couldn't tell who complained cause it was a privacy issue. I'm like my mom 'What about OUR privacy?! She said you can go to the court house to find out. My mom finally had enough and called the city about their stupid board and door and their building a fence. She called and complained on them about those and not having a permit for the fence. She said all she got was a recording and they'd get back to us. their stuffs still there and we've not heard back. Those tha jerk inspector told my mom he'd be back everyday since this complaint issue has been going on since July. My mom questioned him on it, since the last inspector had said we passed inspection. But again he had no answers. He said the next time it wouldn't be a warning, it'd be a fine!

I found out that they have no numbers painted on the curb and they have to have it but my moms well she said its not that she's chicken but wants to hold something back for the future. I still think she should have called on their grass when she had the chance since they complained and have done so much to us. But no...

Then I still think they had something to do with it but I suppose it could have been a coincidence. But you never know. We have a car and an elcamino. The elcamino runs. However the car doesn't. We tried a few months ago and since we don't use it often the battery died. Well the police came and told my mom that a car similar to ours was reported being seen fleeing the scene of a garage robbery. My mom told them that she'd been there for about 20 minutes and couldn't hardly move and I was asleep. But they were welcome to look around and even look at the car but told them about the battery being dead. My mom said they glanced around a little but I guess decided this wasn't the right vehichle and left.
