War of the retired person....

I just got off the phone with my Father....

He is retired now.

The first order of business for him was the neighbors dog, who barked ALL day while they were at work. they would come home, the dog would be quiet for 30 minutes, and then it would bark all night long. They had the dog chained up, and the poor thing wanted to chase squirrels and the like. Well after 4 months of phonecalls, the dog is no longer there,

Today my Father was waging a war on dandelions. His well manicured lawn is an acre and a half. So he was out with his handy dandy weed sprayer....

Later today, he has to get out his pressure washer. Seems as though his well manicured lawn attracts the likes of blackbirds. The eggs are hatching, and the young ones are pooping in the nests. The Momma birds carry the poop out of the nest in their beaks...and drop it all over my Fathers home, deck, and driveway. He is currently going crazy. He thinks they are dropping their crap on his house on purpose....
