That Old House 2

I saw a lot of things living on the corner of Munger & Washington and I don't know the story behind all of them. Here are some of the weird things I saw. #1. One day I was sitting in the living room and in my peripheral vision I saw something go by. I got up and went to the window and there was a naked man running down the street. I don't know why, I can only imagine. #2. Another time I was in the kitchen standing at the sink and saw a man with matted hair go passed the window. The dogs were outside and got stirred up so I went to look out the laundry room window, which faced the backyard. I saw the man with the matted hair just strolling along but there was a problem. His hands were tied behind his back and he had money in them. He wasn't running or even walking hastily, just strolling. I stood there and watched him until he was out of my vision. I don't know why, I can only imagine. #3. Our mail man didn't always wear his uniform sometimes he would wear track suits or shorts and a t-shirt. Turns out, our mail man was my cousin. Neither of us knew this until we went to a family barbecue in Bethlehem, TX. #4. There was a man who got off the bus at the corner everyday at around 4:15 that I believed had tourettes syndrome. He would take a few steps and scream. Take a few steps and scream, this would happen until he got out of my hearing range. At first it was jarring but then I got used to it. It happened M-F, almost everyday we lived there. #5. After getting our cars broken into so regularly, we would just leave the doors unlocked this led to a homeless man sleeping in Brian's car. The weirdness of this neighborhood must have been catching cause the longer we stayed there the more odd we got too. #6. Every now and then the dogs would get out and terrorize the crackheads, sometimes I would let it happen so anybody who thought that our house was an easy target would get that idea out or their heads. Gary, the crackhead would always come to the house out of breath from running and tell me the dogs were out and I'd go round them up. #7. One day my little girl and her cousin, Myself and the dogs where out on the lot playing. I didn't take Juliet cause she never liked to be outside for a long period of time. For some reason, on this particular day she wanted to, so she jumped out the 2nd story window. There was a man walking down the side walk when it happened and his expression was priceless. #8. When the dogs would get out I would drive the neighborhood looking for them and I drove a mini van. On this particular day, the last one I needed to get was Sofia, she was Cozette's sister. I picked her up in a church parking lot and when she got in the car, I tried to make sure her tail was clear of the door before I closed it. At first it was but at the last minute she turned and the tip of her tail got caught in the door. Blood was everywhere in the car and when we got home, she had nerve enough to wag her tail. There was blood 6 to 7 feet high on the walls. I got her patched up with some styptic powder and gauze. I found myself sitting on the floor scrubbing blood off the walls and wondering exactly how I got to that point. My best friend Shwari wasn't working at the time, so I called her to see if she would come help. She didn't answer so I left a message. I said on the message: "Shwari, I need your help to clean the blood off the walls, call me when you get this message." When poor Shwari got the message she called me and frantically asked: "What did you do?" Shwari has known me for nearly 20 years and knows my temper, so she was making a phone call to me that she always thought she might someday have to make.
All of these stories are 100 % true. I know there are more, I just can't think of any right now. When I do, you'll be the first to know.
