Neighbor Problem... Solved
So this asshole cottage neighbor up north has been dumping his yard trash behind my property for a long time. So much so he has worn a path through my property to get there. This is illegal and and a very asshole thing to do. No one else up there likes him because he's a jerk to everyone. All my other neighbors suspected it was him dumping trash but no one had any proof because he did it during the weekdays when no one was around. A couple weekends ago he got careless and did it front of two neighbors and myself. Before I could confront him he took off. Upset, I did the only mature thing I could think of.. I hauled his trash back to his property and piled it on his front doorstep. Fast forward two days, he finds the trash on his doorstep and confronts another neighbor about it (I'm not there) and the asshole neighbor is told to stop trespassing and dumping trash on other people's property. With witnesses, the asshole neighbor gets really red face mad and decides to take his trash back to my property and dump it again. He sees my "No Dumping" sign and breaks it up into small pieces. He goes back to the nice neighbor and yells some more, another nice neighbor comes over to break it up and suggests they call the police. Asshole neighbor freaks out, jumps into his car and speeds away. Minutes after he arrives at his home an hour away he has a heart attack and dies. The property is now up for sale.
Yard Sale
I had a yard sale last Saturday I can't believe no one wanted to buy my crap. The highlight was another geek who bought $500 worth of computer parts for about $100. This money is going towards an iBook. I tried to talk my partner into marking their stuff down but didn't do it. $75 for a broken coffee table? Idiot. Plus they took out an one day ad in the paper for $33! Man, I should have done all this myself. Ended up with a $13 profit from the whole day.
Burned Finger
So I'm mowing my lawn and it looks great. I then fire up the gas powered weed whacker thing and clean up the rough edges, looks great. I put the whacker back in the shed and it slips. I go to grab it by the underside, the burning hot engine underside, and fry the tip of my left index finger -- OUCH! I ran cussing to the hose and kept it in cold water for the next 3 hours. It hurt like a bitch whenever I took it out. I'm such an idiot. Two blisters now. Burned finger tips and computer programmers do not mix. This JE has been difficult to type.
Back to work!

More true than you realize. I didn't write about two other very personal things that were 100% karma. These last 3 weeks have been total karma-shifted for me an others around me. Coincidentally, I just talking with a friend a month or so ago about how stagnant everything seemed to be. Now everything is in flux. Woooo.

Nah, everything I've told has been amused. It is an amusing story even without k
