Is it too late to get a good fence?
Nov. 3rd, 2006 02:32 pmI've only been up about three and a half hours, and my day has been more kafkaesque than most whole months. It has to do with my next door neighbors—a young woman and her boyfriend, both of whom are African-American—and a court date I had today.
( The whole sordid story. )
On the bright side, I got the case dismissed. On the dark side, I really don't think that associating me with those circumstances did my reputation any good in the neighbor's eyes, especially since I'm the reason she even had to be there in the first place. I'm going to try to avoid her as best I can from now on, but given that we share a paper-thin wall, it's not going to be easy.
