Being a grown woman, she understands the correctness of this, as she would do the same to me, also without regret.<br />We never direct harsh words at one another. NEVER.

I came out of the garage one afternoon to find his retriever doin his "Bidness" in my front yard. I said something to the effect of "please control your dog and clean up his mess, there is a leash law ya know." His diatribe in reply was something about the dog was just doing what came natural and how I should mind my own business as he continued back down the street. <br /><br />Fast forward to Saturday morning as I am in my garage putting my pistols in carrying cases in preparation for a match. He must have seen me with the big stainless 686 with red-dot in my hand because all I heard was "Com'on Boy! Com'Boy!" When I looked out to the street all I saw was his retreating back as he dragged the dog down the street. Never saw him in our cul-de-sac again.

Just one more thing that warms my ...Castle, indeed. Just one more thing that warms my heart here in Texas. There was a time here when 'trespass' was considered synonymous with 'suicide'. <br /><br />Our neighborhood is laid out without fences in the front yards. There are curbs, but no sidewalks. On occasion, we get what I call 'walkers'. These are the street folks hired by Billy-Bob's Buffet to walk the neighborhoods and hang fliers on front door knobs. They just cut straight across from yard to yard, which I find annoying, but I can see their point. Just the other day I was out in the garage (faces the street) with the door open. I was rummaging in one of our steel cabinets when I heard footsteps and a small noise. Turns out to be one of these 'walkers', and the noise I heard was him tossing his empty soda cup into an empty box at the front of the garage as he walked by. The guy looks to be about my age, very lean, and wearing a ski jacket on a balmy 65 degree day.<br /><br />My gaze may not have been a perfect 'Harry Callahan', but it did stop him in his tracks.<br /><br />Him--"Well, it looked like a trash can.".<br /><br />Me--"Did it look like YOUR trashcan, punk?". (OK, maybe I didn't say 'punk').<br /><br />He reversed course, retrieved his trash, and made straight away for the neighbors front door, mumbling to himself as he went.RHT447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-25656742881034968062018-02-10T09:31:36.153-08:002018-02-10T09:31:36.153-08:00At least the cop could age and dry behind his ears...At least the cop could age and dry behind his ears.
