•Smokers okay, but please keep it outside
•Pets welcome (pending landlady approval)
•Laid back and respectful of privacy

Parking enforcement warning

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

I just noticed that one of my neighbors picked up a $30 fine for parking within 30' of an intersection. This is one of those bullshit tickets that tend to enrage, because people have been parking in that same spot since I moved here to Somerville about 4 years ago. There yellow "no parking" curb markings are only 5' from the intersection and this car is parked beyond it.

So keep in mind the city is probably running short on tax revenues and are sending the men and women in blue around to help fill the city coffers by ticketing for the ridiculously nit-picky and arcane things.

A bit more on the parking

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but just for clarity, I wanted to start a new post.

I wasn't aware of the Magoun Sq fire the other night. That would explain the renewed emphasis on these parking regs. Let me be clear in saying what a horrible thing to happen and my hearts go out to the folks who lost their homes and belongings in the fire and to the firemen who had to deal with this situation.

Having said that...... ( rant )

Brazen Davis Sq. House Break-In in Broad Daylight, This Afternoon

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

Today, around 2:45pm, while I was working at my dining room table, I heard a rustling and rattling that I assumed was my roommate in the next room. (It turns out he wasn't home at the time).

Fifteen minutes later I was heading down the back stairs to get my bike and leave when I discovered that someone had come in through the open door of our second-floor back porch. The intruder had apparently gone directly to the pantry (in the back, off the kitchen) and run through the shelves grabbing packages of sweet-smelling foods using sharp claws and pointy teeth.

Given that the perp passed over a bucket of handy compost scraps just *outside* of the human-lair, and could not even wait to get back out of the house before ripping through the side of the canister of powdered chocolate, I'm guessing we're talking about a seriously pre-menstrual squirrel here. There was muffin-mix, chocolate, and little scraps of packaging all over the back stairs.

The ferocious guard-cat who was on duty at the time had this to say:

"what??" <*lick*> <*lick*>
