About 10 years or so ago my brother-in-law had a fencing business. He got a contract to do fencing for the projects on the East Side of Cleveland. Wellll he was told by some of the punk residents "why are you putting that up, as soon as you leave we'll take it down." He said he told them "I don't care how many times you take it down, I get paid each time I put it back up." Must have took the fun out of it for them cause they left it alone. He always tried to keep his truck within eye sight. He hated finishing that contract; he was even told by the guy who took him around to show him where to put the fencing, "watch where you step." LOL my brother-in-law said "oh you got alot of dogs here." The guy said "no, human ones."

So now you have that type on the West Side, thus it's been reduced to parts looking like and being a ghetto. Makes me furious to see what it's turned into! Former Mayor White had alot to do with that. He cleaned up the East Side real nice and moved the housing projects west. And I'm not saying everyone in a housing project is bad, but the bad ones who usually outnumber the good, ruin a neighborhood real quick.

You don't want to hear my problems. Besides, I'm having a hard time believing it myself.

And this is why I believe in "Situation Control through Superior Fire Power". I've always told my wife that if someone breaks into the house, open fire and shot to kill. If it's a teenager and they die, oh well. We'll send their mommy and daddy a thank you note for the moving target. I don't care who you are, no one can tell what the age is of an intruder in the dark.

Sorry to hear you're having problems; if you need to vent, go right ahead.

No need to vent, but thanks for the offer.

Hey EB, I want to know if you got the license number of the tractor-trailer that went through the middle of my chest, you weren't in Columbus last week were you, because I can guarantee you, he did one hell of a bang up job, good thing it was all good....

Hey, hey....glad to see you're back and ornery as usual, good sign. . Yep, you can be sure it was EB driving that tractor-trailer and he was probably speeding on top of it. I wouldn't doubt you even have weaving, skid marks from him. Welcome back!
