Smackdown at the Towers

OK - so you guys all know I live at a retirement center. One of three towers actually in the group.

Well, Friday night there was a big fight out back between two young women - both in their 20's.

Why are 20 somethings living here? It is a HUD property and if they qualify under ADA because they are a little crazy!!!!! they can get in. Seems to me that is the majority of the population here now - explains a lot of things.

Like why one neighbor is so OCD that she jiggles her door know at lealst twelve times before she'll walk off - just has to be sure the door is locked and not coming open. I've seen it go on a full five minutes sometimes. Now, I just laugh to myself, but I'll bet she has to get a new doorknob soon.

Now, our mail is ready for pickup about 3:00 in the afternoon, at which time there is a rush on the mailboxes and I try to stay away. But, sitting back and watching, there is one man who checks his mailbox once an hour ALL DAY LONG!!!

Truthfully, it is sad. It's not fun nor fair when your mind won't work the way it was designed to, I'm sure neither of these two can help themselves at all and it's a blessing they can live on their own.

But, you gotta love the occasional smackdown!!
