Got one brewing next door. We are all retired, the guy next to me is a retired brick mason, the guy across the street from him a retired fireman, the guy across the street from me is retired but currently serving as Mayor of our city, and of course me a retired building inspector. Every one of us has lived there for 20-40 years and have always got along fine.
So this morning I was across the street talking to the Mayor and we hear the fireman and the mason yelling at each other. Seems the mason is tired of the fireman pulling up on his driveway approach to back his boat in. He put up a bunch of cones across the driveway approach. The fireman is of the opinion that that approach being part of the City's right of way it can not be blocked. They get louder and louder then the mason threatens to kick the fireman's ass and the fireman says he is getting his gun. Mayor Dave goes over to try to settle them down and they start yelling at him. Being the smart ass I am I told them they had better watch yelling at Mayor Dave because he carries a concealed weapon and doesn't have to go get his gun. Dave yells over at me and says Mike, you stay out of this. I went on inside being the coward I am.
This could get interesting.
Oh and by the way Alex, the widow next door lived on the other side of me, damn I miss her.
