Summer Soaps

Want to see the latest update in my "Summer Soaps?"


I have mentioned in previous posts that The Roomie is now The Ex-Roomie. He moved out, left us, abandoned us. He now lives 3 Doors Down. (Literally actually). The above picture is taken from his new living room. Perfect view of the Saga-Across-the-Street.

At this house we have seen:

• Ambulance visit number 1 - Complete with firetruck and assorted cop cars
• Many a visit from the cops. At least once a month (less often in the winter though)
• Drug Bust (in the lovely month of May) - Complete with 90% of the local cops*, and all the local detectives*.
• All sorts of underage kids coming across the street to bum smokes off of The Boy and The Ex-Roomie. (This has now since stopped. Not sure if it's because all the kids found somewhere else to hang out, or if it's because The Guys have started saying "no.")
  
• Ambulance visit number 2 (that I know of) - Complete with firetruck, 2-3 cop cars, and even someone wheeled out of the house and into the ambulance!
• More cop visits.

This shit is sometimes better than HBO (ok, that's a flat-out lie...) But seeing as how we don't have TV (just a subscription to Netflix) anything is better than nothing. :)

* We live in a relatively crime-free area. Could be that everyone is pre-dominantly one religion, or the gangs of larger cities haven't discovered our city yet. The most common things that you can find the cops in our area doing are: harassing those that drink (especially those of legal age!), giving out speeding tickets (but one officer is never enough to write a single ticket. They usually call for back-up, so there are at least 2-3 cop cars huddled around one freaked out person who was barely speeding), harassing the local teenagers (just because there is a car full of kids, does not give the cops reason to pull them over. Although, they usually don't have a reason to pull someone over - They do it anyways and make up an excuse later (like having a tail light out. Lame, huh?). Seriously), and occasionally they can be found doing some real police work, like busting the drug house across our street!
