Back to the Thief Neighbor

We have such wonderful neighbors, here in Thornton. Uh, NOT. Thankfully, our fence saga has been resolved with THAT neighbor, Ben, to our somewhat satisfaction.

Now back to the neighbor across the street. The very short man who drives a huge diesel white truck even though he never uses the truck part for anything. The one who pulled people away from our yard (click here for that posting). The one who reported my car not being driven enough (click here). The one who reported our lawn not being green enough. The one who thinks we are stupid for using a human-run push mower (while he uses diesel gas for his truck, a huge mower for his little yard, and never participates in the "lights out" to save energy).

Tween only slept a little, and I didn't sleep at all last night. I'm sick, and our dogs wouldn't shut up, so I'm up most of the night. Finally get to sleep around 7:00, and our not-so-wonderful neighbor, VAL, decides to run his leaf blower at 7:40. I get up, throw my clothes on, and go over to talk to him. He refuses to stop, saying basically that he has people coming at 8, and he doesn't need to listen to me. Started it back up again, turned his back to me and ignored me. Big bully. Inconsiderate jerk.

According to city code, he can make noise from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Not a damn thing we can do. Except. according to Officer Sherie, next time he comes over, we can tell him to get the hell off our property and don't come back.

Val used to be a Rep for this area in the House of Representatives, voted out in 2006. He's a bully, and he's more than convinced us that we absolutely do NOT want to live near him. I hope the next owners of this house fare better.
