The car. What can I say. I called Rachel last night around 7PM and told her to come home since a big storm was getting ready to drop a ton of rain and high winds were expected. She got nearly home when the rain started. Guess what happened next? The frigging windshield wipers didn't work! What the hell? They only come on when she pulls back on the "mist" function.
I did a lot of research online and it seems this is something that happens in these older Honda's. We brought the car to my mechanic and he checked it out. Indeed it will need what's known as a combination switch. But that means turning off the air bag and the steering wheel. My mechanic will take care of it when the switch comes in. Until then, we put Rain-X on the windshield and she will still need to hold the switch to make the wipers work.
The rain was something else. We had 3 1/4 inches at my house in just over an hour. Damn that's a lot of rain! My neighbor decided to drive through the "lake" on Jefferson at 31st street. What a mistake! She had to walk home. Her husband had to BAIL water out of the back of the car and I don't know how the hell he got it home. It is all fogged up on the inside. This was a valuable for lesson for Rachel to learn, at someone else's expense.
My blog is about the happenings in my neighborhood and society in general.

New, I've added some thoughts from Chip & Louise. Be sure to check in often!

Sunday June 26 2011
Well, it has been a bad few days for Savannah. We live on 35th street between Jefferson and Montgomery Streets. On Friday at 1:30 in the afternoon, at N. Baldwin and Montgomery (about 1.25 miles from us) was some kind of possible home invasion or maybe a drug deal gone bad. 3 black men were shot, 2 are dead. One drove himself to the hospital. At 3:30 in the afternoon on Jefferson and 43rd Street (whew, that is close enough to see and hear) a guy was carjacked and SHOT in the shoulder. The scumbag didn't have to shoot the guy. He gave up the rental car which was a brand new Jeep. Then the thief didn't even make it 1/2 mile away. He blew through a stop sign and slammed into a SUV, sending the other driver to the hospital. What happened to the scumbag? Bastard ran away. Unbelievable! Scuttlebutt in the hood is that the 2 crimes are connected but the police have not said anything of the sort. Who knows?
Isn't this ridiculous? Some A-hole decided to stuff their cans into a small tree on 35th Street. And on 36th Street, cans and bottles were just tossed all around. What is wrong with these people?

Well, it is going to be 100 degrees again today. The heat index is expected to be around 105- 110. Right now it is only 81 degrees (at 9 AM) so there are a few scumbags hanging but by Dirty South. I expect in another hour or so, they will crawl away like the rats they are.
While driving down Jefferson Street this morning at 8 AM, a black bicyclist stopped right in the travel lane and gave the bike to another black guy (likely drug dealers). WTF? He couldn't pull up to the sidewalk or even pull into an alley? There was a car coming the opposite direction so I had to come to a dead stop to keep from hitting the A-Holes. These people are retarded I swear to God.

There isn't much to say today. It is just HOT.
Last night at 6 PM it was still 100 degrees. Today it is expected to be 101 and tomorrow, too. It is too damn hot for the scumbags to hang outside. That may be the only thing this much heat is good for!

Weekend S/S June 18/19 2011
Well, it was a busy weekend. I graduated from South University on Saturday. Yeah! There was about 1400 graduates! I didn't realize that all the people that graduate from South University in all its locations, come to Savannah for their graduation. It was nothing like what I thought it was going to be.
Last night we had a ferocious storm. At 11 PM, thunder and lightning started. Then at 11:30, the rain came down. We got 2 inches of rain in 20 minutes! It was wild.
Here is the front of DS Records. It isn't easy to see, but not only is there no glass, but the plastic is now peeling away! What keeps anyone from entering? There are bars behind the plastic. Such thugs, I guess they are comfortable being in a small room with bars....
While walking the dogs this morning, I ran across this gross thing. People are so disgusting.

Also, someone dumped a ton of trash in the alley behind Dirty South Records. This really make the neighborhood look like hell. I don't know why someone would drive around with trash in their vehicle and just toss it here. What the hell is wrong with people?

Well, it has been a HOT day. At 11 AM it was in the mid- 90's. According to the weather on TV, it was 101 at 2 PM. That's the temp not the heat index. The dogs and I were not exactly enjoying the walk at that time. Although there was a 5-10 mph breeze, the ground was just frigging hot! The scumbags weren't hanging out across the street too long with temps like that. See, there is a silver lining!

| SCAD trash |
Well, here is what is left behind when the SCADlings leave. Nothing like GA Tech. They throw trash in the alley and the city won't pick it up. They will fine the landlord. The tough thing is there are trash pickers out there that exacerbate the problem. The pickers go through the trash but then they leave it all over the place. Most of them are looking for cans to sell for a few pennies (probably to buy more beer). But it is such a pain for everyone else because of the way they leave the alleys. And this isn't really an alley. It is a small paved street. It just brings down the whole neighborhood.

| Sunday and all is quiet. |
Yesterday was SCAD graduation. The little SCAD'lings are ready to fly from the nest and go out into the real world. Downtown was full of SCAD families this morning. Starbucks and Panera Bread were mobbed.
The SCAD'lings are all moving out now. The alleys and streets are full of "stuff." Unbelievable how much stuff they toss out. I've seen couches, beds, mattresses, tables, tons and tons of clothes and some really weird stuff that can only be described as "art?".
Geez, my nephew Matt attends Georgia Tech and when those kids check out of the dorms, the stuff they throw away is nothing like the students here. Matt picked up several dorm refrigerators, a couple of laptops, and a flat screen TV! Yes, a TV! He and my sister packed the stuff up and put it on Craig's list and made some money.
On a different note, I got a call from my class adviser the other day. I'm the valedictorian of the Medical Assisting Program. WOW! I will certainly add that to my resume. I completed my externship on Friday, Thank God! I couldn't stand to work at that place another day (and especially to not get paid). If I had to work with this one nurse once more, I know I would have bitch slapped her . Whenever I asked her a question, she ignored me. Like I was beneath her, she couldn't speak to me. Well, screw her. The next time I go there with Rachel (who is a patient at that practice), you can bet I will bust that bitch's balls.

Last night at 8 PM, when Bill was walking Chip, he noticed some strange activity taking place.
First, there was an A-1 Southern Cab parked on our block of W 35th Street. 2 black males that are not from around here got into the cab. After Bill had walked the dog and came back to our block, at least a good 10 minutes had passed. He watched as one of the men left the cab and walked down Jefferson Street.
The other man was carrying a wallet and started walking down 35th toward the scumbags at 319 West 35th Street. Once there, the man took some things out of the wallet and gave the wallet and something from the wallet to the ONLY white man that ever hangs over there and another black man that had been hanging there ALL day. Next, the man from the cab went over to another black man hanging on the corner of 35th and Montgomery and appeared to negotiate with him before turning over some more papers (or perhaps credit cards?) to the man on the corner. Shortly after that, all the scumbags disappeared.
At 11 PM, the cab was still sitting on our street and the seller (thief?) was in the front seat with the driver of the cab. That must have been a heluva cab fare!
At 7:45 AM, this morning, I was walking Chip and on my way home, I saw this Pisser. Yes, he is pissing right there on the side of the building. He was so drunk that he was stumbling and walking half the time in the street.

Well, the ho's are back. Yesterday morning,the ho that calls Chip "Brownie" was back on Jefferson Street. She is a light skinned black girl with short hair, probably in her 20's. She looked healthier than she has in the past. Maybe she has spent some time in jail and getting regular meals? Anyways, she went over to see the girl that seems to be a little "slow" and has been sitting on the porch at the corner of Jefferson and the 200 block of W 35th Street. The girl that sits over there is the one that shuffles like Charlie Chaplin.This morning I saw the "slow" girl walking down Jefferson with a black guy that may be her pimp. He was tall and walked about 20 feet behind her as she shuffled down Jefferson. I'll try tomorrow to get pics if possible.

NEWS May 25 2011
Tonight on the news, it was announced that the city will now prosecute people that throw debris in the alleys in the city. We are not talking about putting trash in the alleys in the containers. This is about the jerks that throw tires in the alley rather than pay $5 to properly dispose of tires. Also, it is about jerks that do remodeling and instead of paying for the proper disposal of the debris (like Bill does), they just toss it into the alley. I saw one black guy fill the dumpster that belongs to Delaney Hall (which provides meals to the poor) with construction debris. The next day it was emptied, and he came back and filled it again! I gave his plate number to the preacher later that day. Now, I can call Crimestoppers instead and get a cash reward. I'll be watching!

| Trash on 35th, 20 feet from container. |
| This is really sick. My greyhound snuggling a bunny. |
What is wrong with people? I have to watch where my dogs walk so they don't get cut from broken glass.
Really? 2 empty beer cans in paper bags thrown next to a tree in front of the lawyer's office on 35th Street. Why? A trash can maintained by the city is less than 20 FEET away. SICK, SICK, SICK people.
Today is supposed to be the end of the world. Well, maybe, if dogs are laying down with cats and greyhounds are laying down with rabbits!

A little something different today-
When Bill walks the dogs in the evening, a neighbor around the corner named James, usually chats with Bill. For the past several months, James has been trying to convince Bill to buy his car. It is a 2000 Mercury Marquis, LS (Kelly Blue Book is around $3000). At first, James tried to get Bill to buy the car for $10,000. Now, he has upped his price to $20,000! Bill has told him repeatedly he doesn't want or need a car, he has a truck for work. That hasn't stopped James from talking about how good a deal this car is. Finally on Sunday, Bill said, "If I want to buy a car, I'll buy myself a Porsche." To which James retort was, "You should buy an American car like a Rolls Royce." Huh? A mind is a terrible thing.

Well, what the he'll happened? My daughter decided to come for a visit. She lives in Fall River. Who knew she was a heroin addict? To "help her" she mailed down some heroin and a couple of needles to my house. Of all people, she would send this crap to my house! I have a zero drug tolerance. I was the one who got her arrested the first time 14 years ago! Anyways, she is now in Chatham county jail, where it looks like she will be doing "hard time for a long time".
**Update - It appears now that the trafficking charge has been dropped. Still, it could be 6 months before she has a trial date. Wait and see is all that can be done.

No pics today. It was a bit quiet here today. Then close to 9PM, Hiyah was getting an earful from his Old Lady. Man, was she mad! She was yelling about him drinking, asking where he got the beer from and saying it was HER place, SHE paid the bills, Uh-OH. Maybe she will toss his ass out!
Around 9:30, 3 police cars were out front. Don't know what they were doing, but I was glad to see the blue lights. Always keeps the scumbags on their toes...
UPDATE: 11 PM, Hiyah is locked out. He tried to get in the front door and his Old Lady had locked him out!
He went around the side of the house and yelled and yelled, but to no avail. She won't unlock the door. Good for her! Now he is sitting out on the stoop. HA HA.

| Hiyah and his Old Lady go shopping |
| Hooker and John in alley of 200 W 35th |
Hiyah was sober enough to go shopping with his Old Lady, without her having a fit.
On a sour note, at 10:30 PM when I was walking the dogs, a white pick up truck (commercial type with the built-in toolboxes on the sides and full of junk in the back) was cruising down Jefferson at about 5 MPH. A hooker (black female, not skinny, probably in her 20's) was walking IN the street, also going southbound on Jefferson Street. The truck pulled into the alley and the girl walked over to the truck and they struck up a conversation. It lasted about 5 minutes before she got into the truck and they drove away. What is it going to take to get rid of these scumbags?

Meanwhile the homeowners have now fortified the fence in the back yard. They are planning on adding nails to the top of the new fence. What for, you may ask? Well, you hammer the nails into the top of the fence leaving a good 2 inches sticking out. Then using a grinder, you remove the heads of the nails. What you are left with is a lot of points sticking up. Then, the fun begins. They get rusty, and when a stupid thief tries to climb over the fence, they get a handful of rusty nail holes in their hands! Hello! One of our neighbors is retired military and he told us that is what is all around his back yard. What a great idea!

I was on the front porch about 11 AM on Sunday and Hiyah was getting an earful from his old lady. She was pissed again. She took his beer (that was in a brown paper bag) and tossed it in the street. Oh boy! he called her all kinds of names, the N word and M-F among them. She smacked him up side the head. I busted out laughing! He went and got his beer and popped it open and it squirted all over. But Hiyah is not to be deterred. He got his big mouth on that can and sucked it down in about 10 seconds! Then he nicely tossed the can in the trash. Woo Woo! that's a big improvement.
Bill was walking the dogs this morning when a neighbor told him about some recent thefts. It seems that someone is going around stealing plants of all things. They are pulling up the plants by the roots out of peoples yards as well as taking planters off porches. The neighbor actually installed CAMERAS and had video! Never guess what happened next. The neighbor showed it to the police and they said "So what are we supposed to do?" HELLO! Try doing some thing resembling Police work. Arrest the prick.
I don't know what more the citizens of Savannah can do. We give them pictures, video and they still can't arrest people. I guess my neighbor did the only right thing. He shot the M-F DEAD! I guess we need more arms.

| See the hooker shuffling in the middle of Jefferson Street. |
At 6 AM when Bill was walking the dogs, a black man (about 50 years old) was harassing a young black schoolgirl who was walking to the bus stop. She was dressed in khaki pants, a blue shirt and a back pack. It was obvious she was a schoolgirl. The man followed her for 2 blocks making lewd comments. She finally yelled at him to leave her alone. Later in the day, I was talking to the owner of David's Crabs, Malcolm. He told me one of this employees was walking down the street with her 11 year old daughter when a man approached them asking for sex. Appalling!
