Friends of kids across the street put a Huckabee sign in my yard this morning
The juvenile delinquents who have befriended the children across the street in my subdivision decided to pull a little prank and remove the Huckabee for President sign from my other neighbor's yard and place it in mine late Saturday night. I took the sign out and returned it to the rightful owner. I will make the requisite police report of this continued pattern of harassment perpetrated by the punks. Perhaps they will see the error in their ways (doubt it). Glad our next generation is taking politics more seriously than their education or social skills. It is going to be a long and bitter campaign, but please respect private property, do not trespass or vandalize my property, and do not place other people's yard signs in my yard.
PS: OK, so one of my readers did call me out on the the fact that I would be wasting the time of the local police by calling them up and making them fill out a report. No argument here on that. I should have flagged down the officer who routinely patrols my neighborhood yesterday if I really felt so strong about it. The items that really get my dander up these days are the small red paint balls I repeatedly find in my yard. I am no trajectory expert but the area most plausible for firing these round rubber pellets would come from the same area.
The historic win the Georgia Bulldogs emerged from the SEC Men's basketball tourney put me in a much better mood, coupled with talking with the neighbors from whom the sign came from and chuckled about the whole thing. I think there is some obscure law where you are not suppose to have campaign signs out more than 30 days out or 30 days after an election, and we are well past the Georgia Primary. I have called the Watkinsville Police in the past to chronicle the other acts of petty damage inflicted on my property by these same rabid reactionary redneck kids, and will do so again if need be.
I suppose I am a hypocrite because I trespassed through the bamboo forest by the lake and saw the footprint and junk left behind by a recently removed trailer adjacent to my subdivision which predates all the houses where I live in that same walk on a warm March Sunday evening. In going to this area I did trespass as well on private property, but at least the trailer has been hauled away.
Now who is going to remove the skirting and various debris and mow the three or four year growth? It does not abut my property and I thought about trying to purchase this property sometime back but was dissuaded by the report of the owner living in an elderly care facility. Reports to the local code enforcement officer have fallen on lazy ears for fear of treading on private property to remove junk by the railroad tracks, houses with cardboard in the yard, and various other eyesores. I have plenty of spring cleaning to do myself.
