Skunked

At 2:30a.m. we were woken up by the smell of a skunk. It's not as rare as you might think as we live on an island of wilderness in the city. What made this different was the power of this particular skunk.

After the initial blast we went back to sleep. In the morning the WHOLE house smelled like skunk. It made your nose run, eyes water and sneeze. We opened the house and tried to air it out which was not working so we escaped to breakfast at a nearby restaurant leaving the windows open and the fan running. After running some errands we returned to Skunk Manor and found that it still smelled very bad. We broke out the scented candles which helped.

That evening we were thinking of having people over for games and tea, but that would have been just cruel and cold as we still had the windows open 'till it got too cold. That evening we had a fire which also helped rid the house of the smell.

The next day was clear and we left the windows open ad were rid of the smell.



Yesterday Maddy went to the garage to dump the trash lo and behold the smell is still in there. The skunk must have gone off right in front of the garage. Its a good thing Maddy didnt leave her car windows open!

Crazy People

What is it about me and crazy people?

The other day I was getting the brakes done on my car, I was sitting outside reading the paper minding my own business when a guy who is also getting his car fixed starts talking to me.

He starts in about how he makes people money off of investing. I'm thinking that you don't look like some one I'd give my money to (missing teeth and gardening gloves hanging out of his pocket). He goes on about how he's putting in a fence or something and has to carry boulders and tree stumps up a hill and almost fell down and hit his head on a rock.

I say, "Sounds like hard work."

He says, "No not me I told you I make people money. I don't work"

"Ah, I see"

Goes on about how he was in jail for "messing some guy up." The judge gave him 3 years and since he knows Karate he is considered a lethal weapon.

"Ah. So you have to ghet them to hit you first."

"Yea cuz I'll mess 'em up, but I'm smart. They don't realize it but I'm smart. If I get them to hit me first it's all over.

Im thinking where is my damd car.

Then asks me how to cash a third party check. I givehim some B.S. answer about using his bosses account because that is what he wanted to hear.

Where is MY CAR!!!

Next story is about how Christmas is about capitalism and he is the only one who understands it and he is going to explain it to me.

HELP!

Oh btw some gang is after him. I did not ask why.

Yay my car is ready and I'm willing to pay the $350 to get out of there.
