Blind Leading The Blind.

"Thud, thud," then, "that's right, good job,"  continuing, "uh huh, uh huh," and more "thud, thud." I looked out my window and saw 4 people, one of which was wearing what resembled a blind fold & THUMPING at the front of my car, while the OPEN -EYED man was joyfully cheering, "good job!" 

In my neighborhood, its been normal to see groups of people leading those who are visually impaired around the block. Its also normal for them to beat around the walls, trees, fences, and APPARENTLY MY CAR. I always yield, always take my dog on the street, and am always considerate of others, trying not to disrupt whatever they're doing. BUT I just had to say something. So, as their "progress" was happening, I laughed and said, "hey man, please not on my car...that's my car man." THEN the NOT so visually impaired guy replied, "we're just getting to know the area." 

WOW.

Whatever I guess. I'll be a good sport, it's for a good cause, right?! They were on my property, beating my parked car, and yet, I felt like the mook.



Summer is great so far.
