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.

I Scream, You Scream...

We all scream for Ice Cream?  Not these days.  Especially considering the cost, the fat, the drive, all for something I'd end up feeling guilty about soon after.  Too much effort these days, too many "buts." Seems that things were so much better, "before."

 Having a dollar or two would be "enough," for me, AND my friends.  Did you know, " The first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776." 

One of those days.
