At the end of our street lies a dilapidated house that has an odor wafting from it. It is currently vacated and for sale. Bob and I have been anxiously awaiting this moment for a while now, as their house was an eyesore, a paean to redneck Texas living, as their yard, which surrounds the outside perimeter of the house on two sides, was occupied by about five aggro, barky dogs who would threaten any and all passersby, however innocently one might have walked past. It was unpleasant to say the least. I told those dogs to Fuck Off numerous times, but they had been trained by their debris blanc owners to protect their cheap sticks of furniture and Pa's gunrack and whatever else might have been lying within their tin-roof-rusted heap-o-shit house that was clearly bringing down property value. Those dogs and those people are gone!
Of course, now that the white trash family and their pack of beasts have left, who knows what wanton developer will buy and raze the house (I'm sure whoever buys it will knock it down) and put up another Metro Home or other modern architecture home that costs twice what the 1950s houses around here go for.
I think that's better, though.
Sorry if this post seems intolerant of people who don't take care of their houses.
