The saga continues...

We have been crazy busy lately, resulting in some early nights to bed. Last night we had good intentions of getting a full night's rest, retiring not long after 10. But come 10:30, we were rudely awakened by the neighbor's screaming, AGAIN. It only lasted a few minutes before there was the sound of breaking glass. Then more screaming, accusing the male of the household of selling prescription pills. Jesus. It's bad enough that the one guy in town who has admitted to an involvement in the murder hangs around there, now this. Then the yelling female mentioned the police. Not long after we started smelling the fumes of plastic burning. Destroying evidence? Smoking clown heads? Who knows. Zieak called the police and relayed the situation. Then a young couple started walking on the highway toward town with two baby strollers. They stopped in front of my house and the guy started walking towards the front door. I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline and threw on my robe as i dashed down the stairs. I didn't know what was going to happen, but i thought it couldn't be too bad, he had two kids outside. He asked to use the phone to call a cab, saying "the situation's got bad again." They waited on the road for the cab, but when two police cruisers came rolling up they strolled their children back to the trailer. The conversations that followed were quiet enough that we couldn't hear what happened. All i know is i will be looking into landlord/tenant laws, and speaking to the landlord of that property. This is insane.
