This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 24 years here in a weekly blog post.
I noticed this sign in a neighbors window. It says, "No trespassing. We're tired of hiding the bodies." 😆
---
This week a dust storm blew through Las Vegas and one night we couldn't even see past the parking lot next door. It was spooky.
My daughter and I both thought it was fog at first until I looked up the news stations and they said it was a dust storm. There was still some dust and haze in the sky the next day but it mostly cleared up after this.

My daughter bought a small security camera for the living room window. It has a pretty good picture and she can take pictures and video from her phone. It also sends her a notification if someone walks by or stops at our door. And it has night vision where the picture is as clear as this one.
The really funny thing is, she nick named it the crackhead cam. 😆😆

The high this week was 98F/36C
The low this week was 72F/22C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Hi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI see you guys experienced some weird weather phenomena this week, including a dust storm and a brutal cold snap, with the mercury reaching a daytime high of only 98. :) Yessum, when the temp plummets down below triple digits, it's time to get the woolens out of the moth balls. :) How common are those dust storms?
That sign saying "no trespassing - tired of hiding the bodies" - is that where the president of the Welcome Wagon lives? :)
I just know your daughter's cam is going to capture some strange images and videos for you to post on Sundays.
Have a safe and happy week, dear friend Mary, and come check out The Wolfman if you have time in the next 5 days.
I don't see the dust storms all that often. It's finally starting to get cooler which I am glad about.
DeleteI'm really glad you have that security camera.
ReplyDeleteI am too.
DeleteHahaha hilarious sign, not sure the police would agree, though.
ReplyDeleteProbably not.
DeleteDust storms are quite the thing. This last week I got to walk in zoo in New Jersey while it misted rain the whole time and it felt like a rainforest. Quite amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool.
DeleteThat security camera sounds like a good idea. I'm sure many images from it will be showing up here on the blog.
ReplyDeleteThe dust storm is spooky. It reminds me of when my area was blanketed with smoke from forest fires a couple years ago.
Do any of your neighbors know about your blog? Do they know some of them have become internet-famous?
One neighbor knows about my blog. He's the only one and I've only ever talked about his dog being cute. lol He's a nice, quiet guy so I don't mind him knowing,
DeleteI have that same no trespassing sign!
ReplyDeleteOf that's funny.
DeleteLove the sign. Crazy dust storm. Haven't ever been in one. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many dust storms around here. The sign made me laugh.
DeleteI love funny signs like that. I didn’t realize you guys got dust storms. That camera looks a lot better than our Blinks.
ReplyDeleteThe camera was only $20 on Amazon too. We don't get a lot of dust storms but once in a while we do.
DeleteThat sign in your neighbor's window is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI know. I need to get one too.
DeleteCrackhead cam lol.
ReplyDeleteThat dust storm does look pretty eerie...
She cracked me up when she named it that.
DeleteGood to have a security camera, neat apartment sign.
ReplyDeleteIts already come in handy.
DeleteThat sign is probably more true than not. Our Dad was in Las Vegas once when a dust storm came through, he thought it was really strange. Good idea for the security cam and the name is purrfect!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's cool that you were here for one of the dust storms.
Delete"Crackhead Cam" I love it. Which cam did she buy? I also love that hiding the bodies sign.
ReplyDeleteIts just a cheap $20 camera she found on Amazon. It has a good picture though.
DeleteI like the No Trespassing sign.
ReplyDeleteThe security camera has a good picture, as you say. Hopefully it'll prove to be useful.
I am Hoping so.
DeleteThe Crackhead cam sounds like a good name for it.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. She thought it was a good name. Lol
DeleteOh, dear lord that's funny. I need one of those. There was a huge brawl out in the street last night and I didn't want to look out the window because the nextdoor neighbor always yells that he'll mess people up if they call the cops. I hate our police they aren't supposed to but they tell people who called and reported them. 😐 I texted Baz and told him not to come home from his friend's house until I texted him it was over. 😛
ReplyDeleteMine would be the Hillbilly Hooligans cam. 🙄
Omg that's funny. You should definitely get one.
DeleteHa! Love that sign! The sky looks pretty from your camera after such a dust storm. You'll have some interesting footage for sure, lol!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is most of the drama happens on the street and not in my courtyard. But packages have been stolen so my daughter wanted to see who was trying to steal stuff.
DeleteOh wow! That looks like fog, but how dangerous for people with respiratory issues - I hope you both stayed safe. I can't wait to see what comes from the new camera...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, we were both fine. There was a fine dusting of dirt all over the ground the next morning.
DeleteCrackhead Cam ROFLMAO! She should start a Tik Tok called Crackhead Cam. I bet she'd skyrocket in followers, especially after hearing about some of the antics of your neighborhood residents.
ReplyDeleteI told her you said that and she said if she starts getting enough video she will.
