Judging by the few barks I heard at 7:30, I’d say Jesse’s at work. He was definitely in town over the weekend, though, cuz we heard the motorcycle. Because of the way they changed when Tom gets paid, we had to split the rent after not having to do so for a couple of months, but after this month we shouldn’t have to for a while.

Not at all surprisingly, we’re continuing to see the renter’s dogs every so often, including yesterday. But when I went to call the complaint line, I got no answer. What good are they if they’re not always going to be around? But as Tom says, with all the budget cuts, he’s not surprised they weren’t there that late in the afternoon, especially on a Sunday.

I take that back. Jesse’s here. I hear the motorcycle starting up right now. Well, I hope he’s here to deal with his own damn neighbor’s dogs next time they come around. I’m sick of having the responsibility fall on us! We’re not the ones that own this land. But somebody’s got to do something. These dogs can not only be noisy like most dogs, but they’re HUGE!

I still think the dog’s owners are renters. While it’s true that not all renters are bad, as we’re proof of that, and not all homeowners want to get along with those around them and do the right thing, this kind of defiance and lack of consideration for those around them is typically renter-like in behavior. Especially considering the fact that they’ve already been complained about at least once, and they should be fully aware of the fact that 4 complaints will cost them their dogs altogether. It’s so Mexican too, the way they’ll sacrifice themselves to either get at others or do things their way. It’s the extremists like the Phoenix Mexicans who would’ve gladly died for me before turning their music down that can get a little scary.

But would a retirement community in the West be any quieter? Well, there shouldn’t be motorcycles, loud stereos or loose dogs. But what about tons of visitors, half of them unruly children? What about dogs left in yards to bark round the clock or at least all day?

Speaking of extremists, the laws seem to favor numbers as opposed to what’s right. Tom, who reads the news much more often than I do, said something about a gay rights bill trying to be passed in DC, and if it did, it’d be a major milestone for gays. Well, I wish I could say that they’re well on their way to getting the equality they deserve, yet the vote does seem to definitely be determined by numbers, and sadly, there are many more anti-gays out there than pro-gays. Now the fucking extremists are rallying all over the country! Rallies used to be something that was predominantly done by gays, but now the enemy is determined to spread their message of hate, and if there’s more of that being spread than messages of equality, then that’s what Washington will base their decision on. Not what’s correct.

The world continues on its spiral into madness by killing yet another abortion doctor. If that’s considered “pro-life” then someone’s got their English mixed up!
