Never Go Up Against A Bigger Guy Without A Weapon

So hubs is really good at pumping the neighbors for information and he managed to find out that apparently one neighbor stopped another neighbor from confronting yet another neighbor. Something like "Dude, do you have a weapon? Because otherwise you don't stand a chance." So true.

A Man and His Garage

There's this weird phenomenon in this area where people set up "dens" in their garages. Old couch, a rug and a TV, usually the big one of the house. The garage is an extension of the house, cars belong in the driveway and we have sheds for all our other crap.

We are one of the few who actually park our cars in the garage. Religiously. I don't want to have to scrape snow or schlepp two kids out to the car in the rain. That's what garages are for. Or so I thought.
