You may recall my dissatisfaction err annoyance err outright anger regarding the builder next door, which has resulted in me taking an extension cord hostage. This is a story of inadvertent revenge. Since that post, I came home one night and realized that the same sprinkler head that had been cleaved with the Bobcat (which I subsequently marked with one of those little red flags that are used specifically to mark pipes so people don’t dig them up) was covered in dirt. The same genius Bobcat operator who cut it had now dumped about eight inches of dirt on it.

I was a bit miffed. That’s an understatement. I was in my yard yelling expletives best not mentioned in mixed company. I thought I was yelling the aforementioned expletives and that no one could hear me. It turns out that while I was yelling those expletives, there was a couple walking around and looking at the house next door. After my tirade, I imagine they had serious second thoughts about moving next door to a raving, cussing lunatic because they quickly got in their car and left. It wasn’t intentional. I may have just cost him a buyer. Pity. I imagine the next few couples may be witness to the same thing. Or they may get to listen to the musical stylings of the band Hatebreed. Or I may hook up the old 4X10 cabinet and play Smoke on the Water for hours.

Oh, no one has mentioned the whole extension cord hostage situation.
