Unfortunately, in this neighborhood where most of us own our homes, and have done so for over twenty years, we do have a couple of rental properties.  These are owned by absentee landlords from another state.  One such place is across the street and the turn-over is horrific.

     The new neighbors moved in this week.  So far they’ve had two extremely loud parties and tons of people who are determined to either park in our driveway or block it.  Neither goes over well with us.  With both The Curmudgeon and me having medical conditions, we need the ability to leave on a moment’s notice.  I don’t have time to hunt down some stranger who has parked in front of or in our driveway. 

     I just had a discussion with one person about not blocking our driveway.  I told them that the ‘free getting to know you’ period was over and the next car to park in or block the driveway will have the police called on them and the gift of a ticket.  I hope they got the message.

     I would never dream of blocking or parking in someone’s private driveway but then I was raised to respect other people and their property.  Sigh, it seems to be a lost art these days.

     You all have a good one!
