It looks so festive on Broughton |
Hiyah and a friend hang |
This morning, Hiyah was just hanging with the guys. I guess there is no work to do?
It was almost noon by the time I was able to get Rachel up and get her and the car to Pep Boys for brakes. The damn thing is metal on metal. She has to be at work at 4 today, so it is a matter of a rush job. She did ask for tomorrow off, and so I'm sure she is planning on partying. She better not be drinking and driving. That is a dead end.

Thursday December 29 2011
Well, Rachel finally got her i-phone today. From the time I took it out of the box until it was hooked up to Verizon, was only about 10 minutes. Pretty good. Last night, I heard back from the guy that sold me the other i phone that can't be turned on. Jerk. Said he was sorry and he was out of town and that was why he didn't get all my messages until yesterday. Didn't have a real good reason for the phone not working. Anyways, I'll be sending that one back...
Rachel was suppose to be off work today but switched with someone so she could get a few hours (and bucks). The shift was noon to 4. I dropped the phone off to her at work around 1:30. By 5, she still wasn't home. I called her and she said she was still working! She came in just after 9 PM. Said she worked 9 hours (in a ROW)!!! WOW!!! She came in with a bag from Outback (where she works). She ate something, got changed, and was out the door again in record time. Her buddy Jill is back in town after spending most of the school vacation in San Diego. I probably won't see her tonight...

Boxing Day 2011
No, that doesn't mean we are watching a boxing match, Boxing Day is a bank holiday and day servants got presents in Great Britain. Last night again, I heard gun shots at 11:00 PM. I don't know what is going on out there. I had just come in from walking the dogs and I didn't see a soul out there.
I went to WalMart this morning to pick up some pictures that I ordered online. I had thought the place was going to be mobbed, but it wasn't. But, that was a double edged sword, as it meant there were not many associates working either. I went to the Photo Lab in the back of the store. I went to the kiosk that rings up electronics purchases and asked the associate, where do I pick up prints ordered online. She pointed to the back wall next to the rest rooms. I went to the register and no one was there. I waited a minute or two. Then I went back and asked if the woman could call someone to help me as there was no one in photo. She said she would. I went back and waited, and waited. I heard no announcement.
I went back to the other woman who was now on the register. I asked if the first associate had called for someone to assist me in photo pickup. She didn't know. So... I told her, do you mind if I make my own announcement? She looked a little shocked. I then took a deep breath and said "Attention, I am in the photo department and I need assistance." 3 management people came hustling back to help me. I was told that my voice carried all the way to the front of the store from the back wall. I was so proud. I was out of there in seconds flat with my pictures. Rachel would have died of embarrassment...

hit n run |
OK, now be prepared for a BIG laugh... Several months ago, Rachel broke the inside door handle on the driver's door. She believes she can superglue it back together. She asked her friend Steven for some superglue. Then, she lost the superglue. Now be prepared, this is the funny part.... She found the superglue yesterday. It was in the back pocket of the pants she was wearing... It broke. Her pants were SUPERGLUED to her ass!!! Ha Ha Ha!

Sunday morning trash |
Sunday, no scumbags! |
trash in front of my house |
Rachel called me at 6 PM. She thinks someone has hit her driver's side door again. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if it looks any different. I looked at it at 7 PM when she came home, but I couldn't tell if there is any additional damage...

Saturday December 17 2011
Well last night was another typical Friday crack and crabs night along with a Crash! It was quite busy out there, with cars and people hanging on the corners. Then about 6 pm, I heard a crash and tires squealing. I ran to look outside in time to see a PT Cruiser (off white), fish tailing down w. 35th and take a right on to Jefferson. Then I looked at the crowd of people and sure enough, the P T Cruiser had hit a truck on the corner. I didn't get the license plate but I heard someone say they did. Still, I doubt they catch the jerk. Too bad the police didn't have one of those cameras installed at the intersection. Oh well....Then, it turns out, Rachel's car had been hit. Damn. It doesn't look too bad.

Cracked sidewalk |
Also, I reported all the damn TRASH that is piled up in the alley. Someone appears to be cleaning out a house on 34th Street and has put all the stuff in the alley instead of paying for a dumpster. This stuff is now starting to creep into the roadway making it difficult for cars or Bill's big truck, to get down there.
What a bunch of crap |

Rachel came in and said the Brake Light on the dash is on. And the brakes are making noises. How wonderful. Told her she needs to save some money, it will costs hundreds to fix the brakes. She still owes the mechanic $75 for the other repairs that he did. She said she is saving money for Christmas presents. Since she didn't even give me a frigging card for my birthday, I'm sure I won't be getting a gift.

Just take up the whole road |
Suspicious |
I took the dogs for a walk around 2, and saw 3 men rummaging through a dumpster and walking on the porch of a condemned house on 36th street. One of them actually took a chair off the porch and was walking away. That was strange.
Now, at 4:30 PM, these 2 young girls showed up and end up on the porch of the rooming house. The white guy that hangs over there occasionally (and is usually VERY drunk) is now driving this fairly new Toyota Versa parked in front of my house. He was putting his arms around the 2 girls. This is all very suspicious.

cake tossing |
This morning I saw a hawk sitting on the telephone pole in front of our house. He sat there a good 5 minutes. Maybe he smells death nearby. Hope, hope.
Early Saturday, around 2 AM, I heard at least 5 gunshots. I looked outside but saw nothing. A few minutes later I heard sirens. They did not seem to be stopping near here. Guess people were just working things out.
OH, and Friday night Rachel called me on the way home from work. "You know how that thing on the dash that has H and C is usually in the middle? Well it is all the way in the .... (holding my breath as she paused) Cold." Oh thank GOD! Yes Rachel, that is to be expected when it is COLD outside...

Hiyah and friends in the cold |
What I can't understand is what are grown men doing hanging out on a street corner at 8:30 AM? Shouldn't they be working, or looking for work? I realize the economy is tough but still. All these guys just hanging. It's ridiculous, don't ya think?

OK for all those people that say we don't have seasons... LOOK at the Leaves!! What beautiful color.
Me and Rachel, together for 5 minutes and not fighting..
Hiyah is out for the second beer of the morning by 7:30 AM. No slowing down due to the death in the "family" (the downstairs boarding house man that died). I never did see anything in the paper about the dude. Guess he wasn't that important....

Wednesday November 16 2011
Well, much quieter in the hood today. Yesterday was pretty wild. All those police cars kept the worst of the hoodkins away. Around 7 PM, Bill was walking the dog in the alley and he was stopped by a cop- you are not supposed to walk in the alley unless it is the one behind your house. Bill turned the tables on the cop and asked him, so what happened with the dead guy in the house across the street. The cop said, he didn't know, but was now intrigued. He looked it up on the computer and said- you didn't hear it from me, but it was natural causes... In this neighborhood, that could be anything from an OD to a bullet...Ha Ha!

Hiyah says Hi |
Don't quite know what is going on, but we have 3 cruisers and 5 cops across the street. here, Hiyah says Hi to the officer that just came out of the alley. You couldn't pay me to walk in the urine infested alley. Unbelievably, Hiyah had walked across the street and just came back with a "brown bag" and was sitting on the porch before this photo...Doesn't look the cop wants to get too close to Hiyah...
BREAKING NEWS:
It was a dead person in the house! Too late for the ambulance.
Too bad it wasn't Hiyah!
too late for ambulance |

Also, in the foreground, is some cement and wood from Dirty South Records expansion. There is a red Stop Work order sign on the building, but it didn't seem to stop them from working yesterday. We heard banging in there again....

Friday November 11 2011 Veterans Day
Graffiti on Jefferson St |
Vets day street walker |
Just before the tonsillectomy |
Well, it has been a week from hell. I had migraine headaches from Sunday until Wednesday. Plus, on Tuesday, Rachel had her tonsils out. It was a VERY stressful day there. She bitched and moaned it was taking too long and actually wanted to get up out of the hospital bed and go home. She played with the I-Pad for about an hour. Finally, the deed was done. She has been miserable and in a lot of pain, but not enough to stay home and fully recuperate. Last night she stayed out all frigging night at a party!
Today is Veterans Day. On the left side, there is some guy that looks like he is jonesing. He has been hanging out on Jefferson Street between 34 and 35th since at least 7 this AM (it's now 3 PM). There is a streetwalker hanging out there walking on the right side IN the street. It is a bit cool out there, most in the 'hood are wearing jackets and hoods, but she is wearing no jacket, short sleeves and tight ass pants...
This graffiti appeared on Saturday night. Don't know what the hell it says... Can't make your point if no one can read it, knucklehead.

Today is the Rock 'n Roll Marathon in Savannah. I can actually hear music from Forsyth Park from my house. There are 20 something stages set up around the city. When I was walking the dogs at 7 AM (it was still fairly dark), I could hear PA systems and sirens. The band "The Train Wrecks" started playing at Forsyth Park at 8:30 AM!
On an interesting note, Bill got something in the mail today. A permit to carry his pistol! How exciting!
Start of the race |

Friday November 4 2011 A Tale of Two Apples
A Tale of Two Apples.
My sister and I both have Apple I-phones. I bought the I phone 4 in mid August 2011. She bought I phone 4S,(that's with Siri), when it was released a couple of weeks ago. She had a minor issue or two, went into the Apple store in Augusta, that's maybe 10 miles at the most from her house. She had fantastic service. She raved about the reps taking the time to teach her a few things, like shutting down apps to save battery power. Then, there's me.
The battery in my phone has a problem. On Saturday night, the phone was charging for 8 hours. I picked up the phone off the charger on Sunday AM to go walk the dog. I never walk around the hood without the phone. I went to take a picture of some trash, and the battery was dead. Not dying, dead. There was a picture of a little electric plug. That was it. What the hell? I charged it with a different charger. Nothing happened. I then used a car charger. It finally started charging a little bit. It never got out of the red zone. I went online to Apple. I have full coverage at this point. I put in a claim. All day on Sunday, the phone would not hardly charge out of the red zone. On Monday, I got it to 30+% power. I couldn't go online with it, but I could make phone calls. On Tuesday afternoon, I called Apple about my claim.
The rep on the phone was OK. But the news sucked. He said I could send the phone to Apple- it would cost me $29.95 and I would be without the phone for 15 BUSINESS days. WTF? Or, I could let them put some exorbitant hold on my credit card- (REALLY? what credit do I have these days?) and they would express me out a phone and then I send them back mine. They would charge me if I did something to the phone or what ever. Option 3, I could drive to Apple store- Hmmm. Closest ones to me- Augusta, GA - 2 1/2+ hours away, Charleston, SC 2 1/4 hours away... So, I make an appointment to go to Charleston, SC on Thursday at 11 AM.
I get there on time, not greeted at the door, I see the "Genius" counter at the back of the store. I stand there for a bit then finally I get checked in.
The rep hooks up my phone to a computer and says, there is nothing wrong with the battery. By now, I've gotten the charge up to almost 50% but I haven't used it at all for 3 days. The battery usage shows on a chart on his computer. While my phone showed the red zone, and NO zone on Sunday, the computer showed about 40% power on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but NO data for Sunday. I said, there, that's the day with no power. He says, do I know how to shut off apps that are running to conserve battery power? I said No. He does something and says there is nothing more he can do for me. He doesn't show me how to do anything. "Since you drove all the way here, why don't you spend a little time here in downtown Charleston. Come back in an hour and see if the phone has significantly less power". Then he can do something. I have spent about 2 minutes with the rep after driving almost 2 1/2 hours ONE WAY.
So, I guess, it is location, location, location. Apple Store in Charleston SC SUCKS.

On Sunday- 2 scarecrows |
On Monday- on 1 scarecrow |
The first trick or treaters showed up a little after 5:30. Last ones were about 8:30. I gave out nearly every bit of the $25 in candy we bought!
Damned if Rachel didn't wake up on Monday with a sore throat and swollen tonsils. She slept all day but still went out in a costume around 8 PM!

the crowd celebrates |
I went to the neighborhood watch meeting for my 'hood. We were told a few stats- like 33,000+ people live in the 7.62 square miles that encompasses the area the Bull Street Precinct covers. But that doesn't include the transients, homeless and students. There has to be 20+ homeless hanging out at the Thomas Square next to the Bull Street Library in the mornings. And that is just one square. One thing that was said, that a lot of the crimes around here occur during the day. Who woulda thunk? And that a just this morning, at 7 AM, there was a robbery on E. 38th Street. Gotta get a gun...

Thursday October 27 2011
It has been a rough couple of days. Rachel's car was diagnosed with needing a starter. It wasn't in stock but Dave got it in yesterday AM. After installing the starter, Scott did some welding on the truck hinge and got the thing to close. So, she got her car back late yesterday. Did she ask how much? Did she say thank you? HELL NO. Bitch just took off and left me there to deal with the bill. It was $300. Damn. Between her insurance of $80 a month and now $300 for these repairs, there goes 2 full weeks of my unemployment. And then, she had the balls to say she wasn't paying the $27.95 for the tire to be mounted/balanced last week because if I had brought the wheel to the junkyard, he would have mounted it for free. What the hell? She hit a curb and bent the frigging wheel. It would not have held the tire if Scott hadn't hit it with a rubber mallet. The balancing was needed as it was hit. What an ass.
I guess the people up at the building department don't want to do their job. I called on Friday to say that Dirty South had built an addition to the store and did not have permits. This is Thursday and nothing has been done. This town really sucks. I called again and they said it was on the list of things to check out..Yeah.
I also dropped off ANOTHER application to the county for another frigging job. It is so lame. The first page of the application has your date of birth and year graduated from high school. Since I'm over 50, that is a huge red flag. Plus, they have you fill out a form stating race and sex. I'm never going to be hired as long as I have to fill these forms out. It is so prejudicial.

Rachel's broken hair |
Red makeup in the sink |
Yesterday after I picked up Rachel from school, Bill called her on the phone, angry. Seems she had made a mess of the bathroom. What do you think? Rachel said she didn't see anything. I know kids have selective hearing, but I guess Rachel has selective vision as well?

Saturday October 22 2011
So, how much did the curbing of the tire cost? I got a deal from a used tire place- he wanted $40 for a nice used tire, but I talked him down to $30. Then it was $27.95 to have it mounted and balanced at Savannah Tire. Then, Rachel did manage to drive the car on the donut to Savannah Tire and have them put the tire on. I know I didn't feel like putting it on the car and I just don't think it is safe for her to be driving the car with a donut spare on the front.
As of last week, Rachel owed me $195 for car repairs and a cell phone. She paid me $40 this week, but now she is $58 more in the hole. This car is truly a money pit!
On a fun note, went to Golden Corral for dinner last night. They have a truly awesome chocolate fountain. Damn, it was good! They had strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, and my fav, coconut macaroons. OMG! It was the best.
This morning, I was taking Chip for a walk and saw the neighbor had this elaborate set up for his ladder to work on his house. I don't know, but I'd have to say it isn't OSHA approved.

Tire from Rachel's car |
Oh, and let's not forget yesterday. At 5:45 I called her to find out where she was. She had to be at work at 6:15 and still needed to eat. She finally answered after I called about 6 times. She was on Victory Drive, " you know how the light that says Check Engine is always on, well, now the oil light is flashing on". OMG, that kid is going to drive me insane. I told her to get home now. When she got home, I checked the dipstick (the oil, not Rachel). There was 1, I repeat, ONE DROP of oil on the stick! Bill had a 1/2 quart in the shed so I put that in. I ran out to the store and picked up another quart and that made it full. It is saying something that this car is holding up under the child's abuse. I mean, it is still running!

Rachel asked me take her to work this afternoon. She walked across the street to her car to get her work shoes. Then I drove her to work in my car. When we were almost at Outback, she started to frantically look for her phone. Couldn't find it. She asked me to look for it when I got home. So, I did. I looked upstairs and down. Just then, she called and I told her I couldn't find it in the house and maybe she left it in her car when she got her work shoes. I looked outside and saw Hiyah walking by Rachel's car. He looked at the car and then looked across the street at my house. I swear he had this look, like "this must be a trick, I must be on camera." When I went outside and looked at Rachel's car, there was her phone, laying on the roof of her car! Been there for at least 20 minutes. Amazing.

Trash left in the alley |
This morning, Hiyah was picking up trash in front of his own place!!! WOW. He was putting the trash inside a large Old Milwaukee box......
What is new with Rachel? Well, this morning it only took 3 times for me to wake her up to go to school. She left at 7:19, school starts at 7:30 and we live 1.5 miles away... And she called me at 7:35, she had left her lunch in her car and was late. So, she decided to come home and do homework. Now she is sleeping. I guess she is studying for her blood tests at the doctor's office this afternoon!

Do you see what I see? Hiyah working! |
Last night as 11 PM, some ho' was standing in the middle of Jefferson and 35th Streets. The black skin tight leggings and midriff shirt with sequins were kind of a dead give-away as well as the walking IN the street back and forth.
Over the weekend, Rachel told me her car's radio and the accessory outlet aren't working any more. The money pit is going to drive that girl into the poor house. When she has her tonsils out in 3 weeks, we'll have to put the car in the shop and see what the mechanic can do. It needs an oil change and probably a transmission filter/fluid change at the very least. Then, see if he can make the "check engine light" go out. She is thinking of moving to Mass. with her mom at Thanksgiving. In that case, she will need to make the car so it will pass inspection. Right now, it won't.
Oh, and on Saturday, as soon as I got into class, the Rachel called to tell me she had locked her keys in the car. Nice. She was on Whitemarsh Island. Too bad, I said. Class starts at 1 and gets over at 4:30. She called back later and had a friend drive her to my school to pick up the spare key which was in my wallet. Now she has the spare key, too. She will likely lose the spare key and then she will be in trouble!

Hiyah on right, watching men at work |
Good Old Hiyah, helps out his fellow man. He went to the liquor store and picked up a couple of Old Milwaukee cans and gave one to the painter (whose nickname is Shorty).
Hiyah is on the far right, watching men at work. There is another man in the alley next to them, taking a nature call.....
