dragonlady7Dave called the school across the street and asked if the car across our driveway belonged to one of theirs. They said they'd read out the make, model, and license plate over the intercom.
Sure enough, about five minutes later, a dorky-looking seventeen-year-old in a shirt and tie came sprinting out of the school and ran over to the car. In moving it, he hit the next-door-neighbor's recycle bin. Then he drove off erratically down the street.
We stood in our front door watching and laughing and laughing.
Dave attended that high school. He recounted that periodically when he was a student there announcements like that would come over the P.A., and if it was a car you recognized you'd make the "wooooo" noise, and the person whose car it was would shamefacedly get up and run out of the room, and you'd all laugh at him.
Anyhow, now we can get the car from the garage with its NEW WINDSHIELD! and actually... park it in our driveway! What a thought.
Yeah, I'm psyched about the new windshield.
In other news, we also got one of those little flyers telling us that a level 3 sex offender had moved to our neighborhood. Here's his photo, his name, his address, his telephone number, and a description of the offense for which he was convicted. Have a nice day!
Brr.
