I guess I'm slow because besides his "stealing" a volunteer spot (question-- if it doesn't pay anything, is it really stealing?), and wanting to only drive the truck, I'm not seeing anything nefarious here. As far as talking to my neighbors, the 3 Mexican families in one small house across the street don't speak English and I couldn't get past all their junk cars in the driveway and street anyway. The young couple across the street ignored me when I called out Hello, twice. A week later I saw them drive into their garage and went over to ring their bell. They wouldn't answer. The guy next to me is starting a junk yard behind his house, including 2 vicious junk yard dogs. The couple on the other side of me, oops, that's one of the 780 vacant weed-strewn lots here in beautiful, friendly Oak Hollow.
If you think the mayor is bad, never, never move to Chicago. Your head would explode. While you're at it, don't move to Boston, Hartford, D.C., Philly, etc.
