Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?

Let me set the scene:

On the left (my left not yours ...) are the worlds oldest living siamese twins. Wow, you might think. Instant fun. Not so much. I think retiring from the circus makes you a bit cynical toward the general masses. (Mike told me to tell you that they really did retire from the circus ... we are not making it up). So, yeah, can I be mean and say Halloween is a treat here??

To the right there is what I call the revolving house. There have been a plethera of unusal (I might use shady) characters here. The last group which had new "American" names were recently deported.

Let's now wander across the street and meet June and her husband. June is the lady we hve an imaginary lawn battle with. By this I mean I think she is trying to upscale us ...so we in return drop hundreds of dollars at Knollwood nursey so we can be the fine upstanding neighbors we are and beat her at her own imaginary game. June's husband as we call him because nobody knows his real name has demensia. Now this is okay with us. We understand and agree to introduce ourselves every third day. He however insists that our son's is named Jebediah. Now, you may not know, but he is Ethan. Jebediah is in fact the "Okay Lady's" dog.

"Okay Lady" you might ask. She lives on the other side of the twins. We call her this for this reason:

Me: Hi! how are you??
OK: Hi! How are the boys, okay? You know I have a grandson, okay. He is one, okay. I watch him, okay, like three days a week okay. He is a fireball, okay."

Now mind you, this is the EXACT same conversation we have had with OK Lady every time we have talked to her in the past 2 1/2 years. Although she has never come right out and admitted demensia like June's Husband, we are beginning to wonder.

Lastly but not in any means least, we have our fine neighbors behind us. We once knew their names, but now they escape me. I do know that their rabid vicious child eating dog is appropriately named ... get this ... Buddy. I know. Buddy's main objective in his meager existance are these two things:
1. Poop in the hottest part of the day when we are there for his smelling pleasure.
2. Eat Ethan. (a.ka. Jebediah)
We also know that they have a backyard the size of my bathroom because of all the "extra" recyclable goods they store there. However, they still employ the use of a riding mower. The clip that comes to mind is Austin Powers trying to turn the golf cart around in the hallway. You get the idea.

Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the tour.
