I cut the grass today, it was hot hot hot in Garland, TX.
After that I did a little watering. Now, I'm outside a fair bit, notice all the people going by. Typical people out walking, people on bikes, noisy vehicles. There are several laborer types who cruise by on their 24" girl's bikes, I know most of 'em on sight.
Something weird happened around 5:30 or so. I see a Hispanic guy, maybe 30-40ish, on a bike, approaching from a direction that is not typical. No big deal, typical laborer guy with jeans and a sleeved western shirt and ball cap. He rolls through the stop sign and turns, still nothing unusual, but then he pulls into my neighbor's driveway up to the corner of their fence. As he turns the corner my neighbor's dog starts barking, that was weird, his dogs are always curious about passers by but they don't normally bark. This jerk stops right by the chainlink, I'm thinking he knows these dogs, and spits right in the face of the male.
Both are pits, which I don't have any particular issue with, but at that point the big one starts going nuts. Clearly, they recognized this idiot. He gets back on his bike and rides off down the sidewalk. Now, the male pitty is trying to jump over the 8' fence to get at this guy, dogs know when they are being dissed. That dog can jump 3/4 of the way over that fence, and wanted out bad.
Guy spit right in that dog's face. He's lucky they put up a fence taller than the 6' they used to have, because he could have cleared that, I swear. That dog wants this guy, he knew who it was when the scumbag turned the corner and rode up to his property.
I'll be watching for that moron, don't know what I can do but yell at him, but man I'd love to see that dog get a piece of his leg. Yeah, I'll diall 911 and all, but I'll also tell the cops what I saw him do and how I figure he had it coming if it happens.
Once again, you are wrong. All along, I've been discussing this with him....
He agrees with me that some people know how to handle themselves in these situations, and will. Others cannot, and shouldn't.
You’ve entirely missed my point, demonstrated in your final sentence; it’s about PICKING your ‘fights’.
I’ve wasted far too much time arguing the point. Take care.
That’s a good one, wish I had thought to post it.
“I like the way you think.”
You’re a woman? I don’t think I have ever heard that one before!
Why thank ya ma’am!
Yes, and y’all are welcome ;-)
