our new friend Bruce

Bruce is our new friend. Bruce seems to have nothing to do in life. he drives around our cookie cutter neighborhood and pauses in horror in front of our house. he goes home and excitedly writes us a letter about how we have a few strands of grass growing back near the side of our house. the kind of grass where you have to stop, get out of your vehicle, investigate and have your day ruined at the sight of the greeness. we sprayed it with weed killer and again got distracted with our busy lives. today we got an especially fond love letter from Bruce saying he will fine us $100 if the matter is not resolved in 10 days and included a blank sheet of lined paper on which we are to explain ourselves and send back to him. ah, Bruce, what an exciting life you have. I will say that i had not even noticed the "overgrowth" of the grass strands. i have noticed, however, the infestation of dirty pigeons that live in the front yard of the neighbor across from us and the house on the corner that still has full-on xmas decorations up. maybe they are friends with Bruce too. I sure hope so.
