Jehovas's Witness incident

RE: Jehovas's Witness incident
Does anyone find it strange that she had to drag yard waste thru her house to get rid of it? I'm having a hard time making a mental image.

Stupid entitled american.

Sounds like a terraced property, common in cities here.

UPDATE 2?:
Spoke to the police when they came over, showed them my security footage, and it shows then watching my 2 daughters and I in the garden for about half an hour, just at the edge of frame. Seriously creepy.
Police said they were definitely trespassing, and that they'll look into things.

This part, right here, means they will deserve whatever they get and then some.  Beating them to a pulp with whatever was handy seems like it would have been a good start.

That does not look like it requires a mower or grass collection.

Maybe a goat at best.

As usual, I'll have to keep my atheist business cards and tracts by the back door to repel the invaders.

Lucky you. Sadly, I appear to be blacklisted. I wonder why? Nah, no I don't. I know exactly why.

Not joking, any time they are about, they always skip my door now.

I have a thoroughly punched silhouette target hanging in my window. Cuts down on traffic.

I was born and raised in such a dwelling. The rear garden was narrow but surprisingly long. Built in 1892, bought by my grandfather in 1932 for 800 pounds. 

Everything delivered had to pass through the house, including coal which the coal guys toted in sacks to the coal shed out back. Yes, I am old enough to recall a time when a coal fire was the sole source of home heat.

As a teen, I had a black and tan feist named Rocky. She was untrained and unleashed. She never left the yard.

The four years in the late '70s in Pine Bluff were our first to live in a neighborhood, not the country. One summer evening a guy walked door to door carrying pamphlets. He didn't use the sidewalk. He walked in the street. I was in the driveway playing horse with my friend Carl. As the guy left next door and returned to the street, Rocky stood up and bristled.

She watched as the guy, in a white shirt, black pants, white socks and church shoes, approached the edge of her property. When he crossed the line, she bolted for him in a low growl, then circled behind him. She flashed teeth and nipped at his heels. He turned at the waist to watch her while shuffling forward to avoid each attack. After the first few steps, Rocky and the church guy began a beautiful dance. Her teeth flew like fists of fury, with Bruce Lee speed and precision, never fully making contact. I couldn't have called her off if I'd wanted to. All I could do was stare in fixed amazement and uncontrollable laughter. I had seen the movies: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire. The church guy was better. He street balleted like Jets and Sharks. As he wheeled passed the mailbox, he invented the moonwalk.

She stopped just past the driveway. The church guy turned back to me and Carl, smiled and waved, then continued to the next house. I buried my face in my shirt and wiped the tears from my glasses. It was 's' to 'o', and I had a bank shot to make.

4 bins on the left, I'd say one of them is for garden compostibles...

I think my ever darker Halloween yard displays helped to move us off the visiting list. The JWs don't show up often and the Mormons from the newish temple, just down the street, have never bothered.
