Two bits of news today:
• The temperature here is 113 F. Can anyone top that today?
• The reason Monty disappeared from my porch involved lots of hammering last night. Today, I discovered he has built himself a makeshift shelter in my driveway, off to the side. Though I don't want him anywhere on my property, at least he's off my front porch.
If he has electrical hookups to my house, I'll terminate them.

Code enforcement will make you take it down if not give you a fine as well for building a structure with out a permit. Make him take it out NOW! he has no right at all to do this.
Actually, Code enforcement just called me and said the same thing. Liz volunteered to go out and tear it down.
When it cools down a bit from 113 degrees. I'll go help her.

Liz and I went out in the heat and tore down Monty's house

You might consider tearing it down while he is in it. --FLO--
Condensing fact from the vapor of nuance.
LOL Honestly Flo, that thought crossed my mindOriginally Posted by Uncle Flo
On the plus side today, it's only 103 F. and tonight it is supposed to drop to 71 degrees. Oh how I look forward to 71 degrees.
On the minus side, it's 103 F.

With all that sun you have to endure in So. California a good magnifying glass may do the trick. Just sayin'.

“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

Monty is cleaning up my driveway today. Imagine that.

Just a typical day here. Monty rebuilt his house last night and this morning I tore it down.

Ah, yes, job security. Eventually he will run out of building materials. --FLO--
Condensing fact from the vapor of nuance.
At 10:30 this morning a very nice police officer was at my front door. He wanted to know if I wanted Monty gone. I
Monty was drunk, as usual, so he was taken off to jail for being drunk in public. The officer said he'd only be away 8 hours.
The officer said I need to get eviction papers on Monty and serve him ASAP and only then can the police legally keep him away.
The end is in sight (no I'm not looking in a mirror with my arse towards it)

Monty returned about 6:30pm but departed almost immediately to parts unknown

Big Commotion in the Neighborhood (strangely, Monty wasn't involved)
The woman in the back apartment set her son's mirror outside. The woman in the front apartment tried to sell it. Some guy came by and took the mirror without paying for it. Liz was being yelled at because she didn't see who stole it.
Somehow, living here reminds me of life in the crowded, small apartments in Chicago or New York TV situation comedies.

I was up till 3:00am last night due to indigestion. Yes folks, I ate my own cooking. Before turning in, I took a walk in my yard and saw that Monty had returned and built another illegal shack. I was too tired to complain and figured I'd handle it in the morning. I slept in till past 11pm. I walked outside and Monty had torn it down.
If he rebuilds it tonight, I'll tear it down again. I'm not about to be fined for having an illegal structure on my property.
