On Shopping Carts, Heroin, Cat Ladies, and Leaking Roofs

shopping cart

Woke up to find a Giant shopping cart in front of my house. The whole day I'm thinking, "What the hell am I supposed to do with a shopping cart now? Do I call Giant and ask them to pick it up? Or is it now my job to get rid of it?" But the next day it was gone. The junkies use these things as moving trucks.

I don't want to sound insensitive about my neighbors' soul-destroying addiction, but if they stopped doing heroin, they'd probably get motivated and join a Tea Party.

The cat lady on the other side of the block saw me pick up after my dogs, and she offered to take the bag into her house. I said I was good.

Please tell me everyone else has a leaking roof. Can you do that for me?

Happy New Year, Baltimore!

Everyone has a leaking roof. Well, not me, but everyone else.

Wait...she offered to take the bag of dog poop into her house? How neighborly. I think I just threw up a little.

Thanks. But if you really cared you would have made a hole in your roof.

And I asked her again, just to make sure I got it right, so she said, "Yes, I have a trash can at home!"

Aren't roofs supposed to leak? I think it has something to do with radon ventilation.

That's right. And I can deal with a little leak. I have a bucket, after all!

My ceiling and my basement leaks.I need to get my ceiling and my basement fixed.Happy New Year.

OM said...

Thanks, Michael. My basement is leaking too, but in a different way. I don't even know where the water is coming from there. At least with the roof I kind of know what's going on... Happy New Year!
