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 26 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.
For a couple of days in a row the Goodyear Blimp was flying over Las Vegas. I haven't seen the blimp in a long time. I used to see it all the time when I was a kid.

On Wednesday night when I took Falcor out for his last walk I spotted one of the homeless ladies dog out by himself. So when he came over to see Falcor I grabbed him, took Falcor home and walked Nibbles around the neighborhood looking for his owner.
Then Jonathan came outside and since I know he knows the owner I asked him if he knows where she hangs out. He said she was probably at the laundry mat, so he took the dog over to her. He told me when he got back that she was there and got her dog back. Oh and it looks like Jonathan isn't moving after all, he's decided to stay here so I figure it's better to make nice with him while he's here.

On Wednesday I heard a bunch of sirens in the area and found out that police and Swat were just around the corner from my neighborhood. So this technically didn't happen in my immediate neighborhood but it as close enough for me to hear all the sirens.
But when I looked on my news pages on FB this was all I could find out about it. There wasn't any updates so who knows what happened.
The high this week was 87F/30C
The low this week was 52F/11C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
I am glad it was quiet(ish) in your immediate neighbourhood. Not something that happens often.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised it was quiet around here.
DeleteHaha, love the sign-off—“Apartment Hell Life” sounds like a whole saga I’d keep up with weekly. Sounds like a bit of a mystery with whatever happened on your news pages—classic FB giving half the story, as usual. And wow, that’s quite a temperature swing! 87F to 52F? No wonder it’s chaos out there. Looking forward to next week’s episode—maybe with some weather drama and a plot twist!
ReplyDeleteI've been writing these weekly posts for a few years now. lol Yeah the weather was very crazy this week. The over night lows were nice though.
DeleteThe Goodyear blimp is a common sight here, though it’s always sort of exciting to see. I thought Jonathan had to move?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have to move but had planned to but now he doesn't plan to. My brother is coming back next month for another visit. Hopefully Jonathan doesn't cause any problems.
DeleteWe live 70 miles from the Goodyear plant and one of the places where a blimp is kept. We often see it on it's way to football at Ohio State University or the Memorial Golf tournament. Fun to see. Nice that Nibbles got reunited. Happy Easter today.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
DeleteI hardly ever see the blimp around here but it's been around for a few days now. Nibbles is a cute dog I'm glad I was able to help find his owner.
Good for you for taking care of the pup. I am sure it was appreciated!
ReplyDeleteYeah the owner saw my daughter the other day and said to say thanks to me.
DeleteDa blimp is spying on you!
ReplyDeleteSo are all the drones. lol
DeleteYou need to invest into a littel drone of your own LOL
Deletelmao That is an interesting idea.
DeleteA fairly quiet week for you! That last thing is sooo familiar. That's a big aggravation for me, I hear sirens or there's a bunch of police activity at the local big box store or whatever and NO INFORMATION anywhere available to tell me what's going on.
ReplyDeleteRight? I wish we had more information on things like this that go on in the neighborhood.
DeleteInteresting that the Goodyear Blimp is still around. I wonder why Jonathan decided not to move out, but hopefully he'll stop trying to annoy his neighbors and behave himself now that he's staying.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why he decided not to move out. I hope we don't have anymore problems form him.
DeleteNibbles must have been glad to be reunited with his owner.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he was.
DeleteGlad you watch out for Falcor so well.
ReplyDeleteOf course.
DeleteThat was kind of you to try and return Nibbles to his owner and good that you have made civil overtures to Jonathan. It sounds as though he's one to be kept onside!
ReplyDeleteJonathan has been civil so it's easier to make nice than be mad at a neighbor.
DeleteI agree with the others that you did a good deed by returning Nibbles.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she will be able to keep her dog with her from now on.
DeleteGlad you helped Nibbles get back to the owner., she ought to take better care of the dog.
ReplyDeleteYeah she should but she's homeless and probably on drugs.
DeleteThe week before spring break while at work, I looked up and out the windows, and there was the Goodyear blimp floating past. I know they have a base (station?) fairly nearby, but I rarely see it. (I know one can buy a ride on it, but last I heard it was $700 for an hour. I don't know who has that kind of cash for that.)
ReplyDelete$700 an hour? Wow.
DeleteWe live in So. Florida right near the main Blimp base, lol. It sounds weird when it hovers over our house! Also---sorry it took me so long to get over here to comment--we were camping and the park we were at had NO WIFI!! Gasp! I felt like I was living at "Little House On The Prairie".
ReplyDeletelmao That's ok. I hope you had a good time camping.
DeleteI didn't know the Goodyear Blimp was still around, that's cool. Be safe out there! Happy Easter from all of us!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you as well.
DeleteI haven't heard of Goodyear Blimp in ages. What a sight that must have been. You are so thoughtful to do help Nibbles. Not many would do that.
ReplyDeleteNibbles is cute. I know he's homeless with his owner but that might be better than in the high kill shelter we have here.
DeleteYou did your good deed of the week - I can feel for the dog. The Goodyear blimp is something I have never seen and probably never will, given where I live. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the blimp in such a long time.
DeleteWow never a dull moment!
ReplyDeleteNot around here.
DeleteNever a quiet moment in your area. Where I live we rarely hear sirens or anything much for that matter.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice. I hear them all the time around here.
Deleteeveryone took a break because it was a holiday weekend, ha ha. So nice you got the dog back to it's owner!
ReplyDeleteNow it'll be crazy again. I'm glad he found his owner.
DeleteA fascinating glimpse into the colorful and sometimes chaotic life around your apartment complex! The little acts of kindness, like helping the homeless lady's dog, really highlight the sense of community, even in unexpected situations.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteLooks like you did your good deed for the week getting a dog back to its owner and making nice with the neighbor. :)
ReplyDeleteNibbles is so cute and has so much energy. I feel bad for him though. I hope she doesn't lose him again.
DeleteSo last week, I was out walking my usual route along the beach wall and saw some men with shirts marked "detective" bringing out a body bag on a stretcher and put it into an SUV. I tried to find out if it was a suspicious death, but can't find anything about it.
ReplyDeleteOh dang. I hate when I can't find out what happened.
DeleteGlad you got the doggie reunited with its owner ~ Blimps are great to see ~ fun ~ don't see them as much ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I like seeing the blimp.
DeleteNever a dull moment!
ReplyDeleteTake care.
All the best Jan
Sure seems that way.
DeleteWhen I saw the blimp. I thought of the blimp on The Simpson.
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI agree, the blimps used to be out a lot more! Very nice of you to get that dog back to the owner! Sounds like a quiet-ish week for you.
ReplyDeleteI used to see them all the time.
DeleteI haven't seen the blimp in years. It used to fly over Notre Dame stadium frequently when we first moved here, but now we just get military flyovers.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I've seen it too,
DeleteI remember seeing the Goodyear blimp all the time when I was little. The facility where it was stored was near us.
ReplyDeleteI saw it all the time when I was little too.
DeleteGood that you tried to find his owner
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad we were able to find her.
DeleteIt's never a good day when the SWAT teams are close by.
ReplyDeleteThat's the truth.
