Sticky bedroom window

[Ryan Wright]

LOL! Well, we all have different tastes, I suppose. It's usually best
not to push people with odd tastes, they often react unpredictably.

I painted my house a deep blue and it doesn't exactly fit with one of
my neighbor's vision of what a house should look like. I figure it's
my house, there aren't any covenants and I like the color. So, to his
mild whining, my answer was, "Keep it up and I'll have to paint the
fence to match." He let it go.

"Flamingo-ing" houses has become a popular thing in some areas. I've
seen it several times around here. It seems to be a replacement for
the toilet-papering of houses we used to do as kids: You go out and
buy several dozen pink flamingos, then cover someone's yard in them
under cover of darkness. It's quite a sight.
