Our neighborhood app warned us that a possibly deranged person was walking around with a steak knife.

 

Recently there was a post on Nextdoor from a guy in a subdivision near where I live. He advised all of his neighbors that he was unhappy a couple of teenage girls occasionally rode horses through his sub. Also, there was a third kid on a skateboard, which he deemed “unsafe.”

Anyway, on the most recent time he went out to yell at these kids, one of the horses took a dump on the street in front of his house. So he did the normal, sane thing you do when an animal relieves itself in public. He called the sheriff. (I’m actually not convinced it wasn’t 911, but he did specifically say “sheriff.”)

The sheriff, unlike the horse, presumably didn’t give a ****, because the guy said if it happened again, he was going to call Animal Control. (Who are going to do what? Set out horse traps? Bait them with hay?)

The guy then complained bitterly about the unfairness of having to clean up horse crap, which really he didn’t even have to do, since it was on city property.

I’m not quite sure what kind of a reaction he was hoping to get by posting this story for the reading pleasure of a few hundred people, but most folks just seemed to lol @ him. The only thing that isn’t funny is that this is the kind of mind-your-damn-business behavior that sets up people—including kids—to get blown away by the cops.

So how about we not call the police over literal horse****?

Thank everyone for understanding.

 

Tomorrow, Georges Gouttes, a 72 year-old cook of Toulouse, will be serving the largest cassoulet of the year, with 1,500 people attending - it's less than the record 2,500 people of last year, but COVID does require extra distancing. Preparation began yesterday.

Today in Mill Park, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, people are in lockdown still.

It's a lovely spring Saturday morning (edit: huh, it's after 2pm. Where's the day gone?), so people are walking dogs while wearing masks. The sound of lawn mowers fills the air.

That's it. That's all the news in Mill Park.

 

Saw people milling about the Virginia Beach Boardwalk on the news. No social distancing and very few masks. *headdesk* COVID spike here we come.

 

Apparently some newsagents here have had some newspapers delivered late because a climate change activist group is blocking the roads outside their printing presses.
Not much of a loss.

 

Earthquake in Bedford! It was a 3.3 , people reported tables wobbling and all sorts . Thoughts and prayers.

 

I like it. It says Episode 1, have they made more?

 

Amazing! Love it!
They're not very similar in terms of style though...

....I like Neil's art. I had never even considered what he might be doing nowadays.

 

An earthquake!

 

is it still politics if it's just a bunch of boats sinking (the boats happened to be a Trump parade)

 

It's been a very dry summer and the river is about two or three feet lower than usual. But it rained last week and it has risen a few inches.

 

Lots of gasps going around town, let me tell you.

 

Maybe they should find a middle ground compromise, something like setting up a trail of statues of Moomins that people can explore and take photographs with.

Boost tourism without compromising the green space.

 

The dumba$$es in our county ‘accidentally’ euthanized all of the geese at the local duck pond thinking we were within the 7 mile radius of the closest airport. We’re more than 10 miles out.
