Who are the People of Roanoke Street and WTF do they want?

I received an anonymous letter yesterday from the people of Roanoke Street. The letter said I should clean up my yard. It also said my house looks good and I should stop blocking the road. not too sure what to make of it... Well I'm pretty sure people who do that suck ass.

We have been moving for a couple of months and there is a couch and some other furniture out behind my house as well as some old lawn mowers under a tree. I've been hoping that the trash guys would take it but no luck. None of this is visible from Roanoke street so I suspect it's actually the people of Murray Street or Main Street who are taking issue with this.

Apparently they haven't lived here long and don't understand the gravity of the situation. You may not want to be my friend, but you certainly don't want to be my enemy! Or perhaps they DO know and that's why they chose the anonymous route. The real problem here is that a non trivial portion of the town has done bad things to me and my family, so the normal societal mores that would cause me to care what other people think no longer apply in Fincastle.

Of course, I tore up the letter into big chunks and threw them in the yard to be mowed for a few times. And I started parking in the street even when it's not necessary.  Maybe I can get some more "love mail" from these idiots.

ps. I changed the visable name of my internet router to something not too flattering about them...should be visable on their wireless devices for several blocks.

Side by Side Drivers from Daleville to Fincastle.

So it appears that the driving infection of the metropolitan areas of Virginia has spread to Botetourt County. We had the unfortunate experience of returning from the new Harry Potter movie at around 6 pm tonight.  When we got off the interstate at exit 150, traffic was pretty heavy.  Even on 81 it was a little thick.  The usual offenders were in the left lane, but we made it in pretty good time. The ride from I81 to Rt. 779 was the usual cluster f**k of idiots in both lanes.  When we got to the stoplight, the left turn lane was green.  This effectively ruined the usual strategy of letting the turning traffic scrape off the slowpokes in the left lane.  So here we go from Daleville to Fincastle, 8 miles of slowpoke hell.  I was able to work my way up to the idiot in the old pickup that was driving next to the same car in the left lane for 8 miles with about 100 cars behind him and tried to work past him but he won the asshole of the day award!  I...

Sea, Land, and Air or tax, tax, and tax?

The Virginia State police are operating their mega tax program this weekend on the interstates. The claim is they are going to make us safer by giving out tickets for not wearing our seat belts, even though they promised when the nanny's made the law, that it would be a secondary offense.There is some evidence that primary seat belt enforcement kills more pedestrians, since the drivers feel more secure and drive more aggressively. Let's talk about the speed limit. It's an arbitrary number that some unknown entity charges according to their mood. I can remember the interstate speed limit being everything from 45 to 80, the road didn't change so it must be an arbitrary number. Lots of places change the number to create speed trap tax income. I guess if they could they would do the whole state like out tax collecting State police. Didn't really feel safer today on 81 from Bristol to Blacksburg. Same number of idiots in the left lane. It just seemed like everything ...

Broken windows piss me off!

I woke up yesterday at the hotel in Glen Burnie, MD and the back passenger window of my truck was broken! All they took was some quarters that I had in the console. There was lots of other good stuff, tools, silver dollars and so forth there but these guys were going for quantity not quality. They apparently hit 22 cars at the Comfort Inn across the street and 10 or more at the Days Inn we were staying at. They did not get the work van for some reason. The manager said he would give me a discount on my room for the expense. It was his opinion that a glass place nearby was paying people to do it. He said an undercover cop was working the lot one night and caught a guy doing it and that's what his story as. That guy was just breaking them and one time just took a windshield out and threw it in the woods. Like to find out who the glass company is so I can go kick their ass!
