There are men in our yard.
That could sound sinister. Isn’t. But they have chainsaws and shovels! Oooh, and an ax (axe?). Our neighbors hired people to remove the mess of trees and thorns and weeds that acted as a barrier between our yards, so all of a sudden we can see into their yard (and they can see into ours). It’s temporary, or so the not-scary men told me the other day. They’re going to put in a retaining wall with a fence on top of it so we’ll get our privacy back, it’ll look nicer, and I won’t have to get in there and get stabbed by thorns anymore. Heh, “anymore”. I’ve been too afraid of the thorns to even attempt it once.
Aaand the chainsaw-wielding guy just did a circuit of our backyard. That’s unexpected. I’d make sure the back door is locked, but I’m pretty sure his chainsaw could cut through it.
Tune in tomorrow to see if we survived the afternoon!

You know the second amendment guarantees you the right to arm yourself with an AR-15. Might work against a chainsaw. And, hey, it’s your right!! (Not making light of this–just expressing my frustration about the idiocy all around us.)
