At the end of the block on the corner there should be a stop sign. Every once in awhile the city finds the time to replace it. And then no less than 8 hours later it's gone again. Now this is not something that a bunch of kids are doing as a prank. There are people that live on the corner that park their truck ON THE CORNER. There is a fire hydrant in front of their property and they park just clear of it, putting their truck RIGHT on the corner. This is where the stop sign should be. And i don't know if i'm right about this, but i think it's illegal to park blocking the view of a stopsign. So i think they remove it.

This leads me to believe that the people that live on the corner are not that bright. Or maybe just crazy. Well the stop sign issue and the fact that they have a car parked on their front lawn. Well it's really not a lawn, its more like a huge ivy patch. And the car is actually loosing the battle between itself and the ivy. Ok, so what i am saying is that these people are NUTS.

SO....

Jen and i go out for a walk tonight to watch the sunset and i took a few photos. As we walk back i take notice of the stump that used to be the stop sign and the car overgrown with ivy. I take a look at the house, and think... "Well it doesn't look bad. They keep good care of their house. Look they even have taped the windows to paint the trim. They're keeping it clean" Then i stop. The tape on the windows is not for painting. I notice that there's some on the AC unit in one of the windows. YUP. They're NUTS. They've sealed themselves into their house. All the windows have been sealed completely with tape and plastic. I'll go get some pictures later when i don't think they're home. I was going to take a picture tonight, but i was worried that they were somewhere inside behind a window shade with a high power assault rifle aimed at my head.

Ok, PHOTOS added 3/20/2003

I was wrong about the car. It actaully is not parked on a lawn. BUT it IS being used as a storage SHED. Its packed to the top with boxes and junk.

Ok, the red no parking zone is there so nobody can park directly in front of the hydrant, but that forces them to park on the corner itself.

Here you can see the hole that usually holds the stopsign. Its been filled with a little mix of asphalt (i assume homebrew)

Finally there's the plastic biohazard SEAL they have on their home. Its funny though, they have no plastic on any other windows. Just this one. hmmm. it must be the safe room. I'll bet that's where the guns are.

Comments:

This is a situation that is definitely begging for pics. And you should set up a videocamera and point it with an infrared zoom lens at that stop sign the next time it gets replaced. ^_^

I wonder if you can call that homeland security tip-line and tip them about their suspicious behavior thus far? Just me talking out loud...
