Apartment Life #352

 

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 have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I'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 26 years here in a weekly blog post.  

Can you believe I've done 352 of these weekly posts now?

I circled the uncovered manhole on the left and the bag of dog food in the middle because I wanted to talk about the dog food for a moment. There are some people that drive by in their cars and bring supplies for the homeless that live down in the tunnels. This week I watched as a guy got out of his truck and set several bags of supplies by the open hole, shined his flashlight down the hole and a moment later two people popped up and took the bags down the hole. One of the things the guy brought was that large bag of dry dog food because at least 3 of the homeless people around here have dogs so that was nice. I saw several of the people who have dogs take a bowl, scoop out some food and give it to their dogs right around this area. I just thought that was nice of someone to do for them. One guy puts his small Chihuahua in a backpack on his back, leaves it open so the dog has his head out and he goes down in the tunnels with the dog on his back in a backpack. Another guy lives in his car with his dog and I mention this because of the next picture. 

The guy that lives in his car with his dog had the police right behind his car this week. They must have run his plates and saw that it was fine because he didn't get a ticket or anything. But this is the third time I've seen the police checking out his car. 

The confirmed structure fire on Bromley happened last Sunday night. I was already in bed when I heard a bunch of sirens and got up to see what was going on. A bunch of fire trucks drove down my street to get to this structure fire about a block away. An apartment building caught fire, don't know how bad it was but there sure were a lot of fire trucks. 

I thought I would leave you with one last Falcor Christmas picture. This was taken Christmas day. My daughter had light necklaces for all of us to wear that day and she put one on Falcor with his little Elf hat. 

The high this week was 59F/15C

The low this week was 36F/2C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
