Dear neighborhood rat

Ok, you know who you are and so do I. You called the city health department to complain about me parking my truck in the yard. I dont think you realized that I parked my truck in my backyard because I let my neighbor park in my side driveway because of all the snow. I did it because I didnt want to see her struggle walking up her driveway in the snow. You see, it makes no difference to me where I park my truck but I know it would help my neighbor and to be neighborly.

You see, I own a fully custom pick up truck. It beautiful, registered, licensed, E checked and insured. I don't drive it in the winter and I never have. I don't know why you would complain to the city and try to have me given a citation for $300. I didn't happen tho because I took the citation to my neighbor and let her read it. Then I moved my truck to my driveway and now she has to park on the street, around the corner.

I get that we have laws and why but as of now, to your dismay, we are not communists. The true person who lost out in all of this is not me, its my neighbor. Hope you are happy.

PS I have done a lot of work in our neighbor hood. I plow everyone's sidewalk (except yours). I work a full job. I am a vet. I have 7 medals, 2 battle E awards. I have a family and I am a lifetime member of the working class, and you have none of any of these. I am not perfect but as Uncle Si would say "its on like donkey kong baby"
