On the left is a pleasant older
Asian couple . Friendly and always waving . On
Christmas morning they knocked on my door. I answer to the woman holding a large box , probably about 3 feet wide . Merry Christmas she tells
Me , and hands me the box . I told her the same and brought the box inside. I open it up to
Find about a dozen large apples . An odd
Gift I thought to myself , but thoughtful nonetheless.
I would carve a couple up and stuff in the bird I roasted a few days later . It was a delight . Some
Months later I cut their grass as a sign of gratitude .
On the left is a relatively new older couple . They are nice and friendly as well . I’m pleased they moved in because the previous lady would whine about the dog barking in the middle of the ****ing day . Definitely a step up with the new folks .
Across the street is a friend of mine who played
Pro basketball in China . Recently he decided to go into coaching and is doing so in Vietnam. He took the wife and kids last week and will be back around January . Good folks and they will be missed . The kids around the same age.
Next to him is a retired lawyer from Sudan. Nice guy and very book smart . Cant fix a thing to save his life and has no sense when it comes to basic yard work .
I told the story in the lounge one day, but will do so again . The man bought a new lawn mower and asked me to help set it up for him . After getting the wheels on and everything setup properly I told him he can give it a start . Now we just need to add the gas. Samir would go on to tell me he had already done that . Long story short the pinhead put the oil in the gas tank and the gas where the oil goes
.
It was toast before it even got christened .
