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.
My camera doesn't take great pictures at night but the ambulance showed up at 10PM on Monday night and they had someone on the stretcher that went to the ER.
The police were seen on my street on Tuesday afternoon. They're been driving by a lot recently, this time they stopped and talked to someone across the street in the apartments there.
The next morning around 6AM on Wednesday, I saw caution tape going across the street. I didn't hear or see any police or anything but the older couple across the street said he said the police at 2AM with their flashlights looking in the rocks. Usually when they do theta they're looking for blood or bullet casings. But another neighbor said she went to work at 5AM and the caution tape wasn't there at that time. Did someone put it up, take it down and then put it back up again?
I'm confused as to who did it now. Was it police or someone around here pulling a prank?
I read on Twitter sometime back that people in other countries don't believe that the school buses here in the US are actually yellow. So I thought I would snap a picture of one to show anyone who didn't know that they are indeed yellow.

Some fireworks from the 4th.
The high this week was 104F/40C
The low this week was 77F/25C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Cool fireworks but 104 is way too hot for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's too hot for me too! Thanks.
DeleteCaution tape, cops, ambulances—your apartment life is never dull!
ReplyDeleteSchool buses are yellow in Malaysia too.
Never a dull moment it seems where you live, Mary. Bright yellow bus, that should be east to see. The fireworks look good as well.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't someone believe our school buses are yellow?
ReplyDeleteI think I would have a real problem trying to sleep in your neighborhood. It's been bad enough here with Fourth of July fireworks and then our community did ours last night. And then my neighbors have been shooting fireworks since July the 3rd and will continue until Monday most likely.
ReplyDeleteThat caution tape looks like it's going across the street, which is odd. Maybe a car knocked it down and the next time the cops were there they noticed and put it back up.
ReplyDeleteYellow seems like a good color for school buses. Yellow cars are very rare, so the school buses will stand out and be easy to notice.
Our buses are yellow too.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, people are done with the fireworks for a while. It didn’t seem too bad here, for once.
ReplyDeleteFar too hot where you live. I struggle with anything over 25!
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone think school buses aren't yellow? Do they think the yellow is an optical illusion?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Nick. It's weird that someone doesn't believe yellow could be a school bus color. Now, I wonder what color they are in other countries.
ReplyDeleteWhat color are their school buses if they're not yellow?
ReplyDeleteYes school buses are yellow, in Canada too!
ReplyDeleteIt is terribly hot.
ReplyDeleteOur Ontario school busses are yellow!
That is a mystery. I hope you find out what happened!
