November 24, 2002

           Miami 6:33 a.m.. I got the red oak stained early, and got Frank up at noon. He is hard to kickstart and is not yet developed that sense of desperate urgency about his own business. Of course, since we're nearing the end, the predictable nobodies have become more desperate in their attempts to screw us up.
           In this case, Hildi and Roberto downstairs developed the concept, after 10 beers each, but the yard was half their's and wanted us to move. No way. So she called the police. They took one look and told her to go back in the house and leave us alone for two hours.
           We only needed one hour and 20 minutes after the police left Roberto came out and smashed our overhead light, which we had to use because of the delay with her call to the police. I promptly called the police back and sat quietly while they (Hildi and Roberto) talked themselves half way in to jail. That Hildi is so stupid I cannot believe she worked for the government. Now that's stupid.
           Hildi has a noisy dog named Boomer. She says, Boomer is trained, but that is a lie. To train a dog, you have to be smarter than the dog. Hildi is around 60, your typical uneducated, suburban divorcee, who actually thinks she is special because she's raised young. You know, the way pigs and monkeys give live birth and the rest is instinct. She's tried to bleed off this before, but of course it goes nowhere with anyone I know.
           Gordo, Jamie’s cat, has disappeared again. Gordo is a 25 pound cat. Jamie seems to need pets around. She arranged with me to be Gordo in the a.m.. Then I discover Richard is indentured to feed him in the p.m. Wow, if he treated her boyfriends that well, she probably be married.
           [Author's note: the red oak is the stained wood work around the outside of the toothpick cases. Because the driveway gate takes so long to operate that everybody parks on the street, leaving the driveway, empty. The driveway is huge, and Frank and I used to set up the toothpick cases over in one corner of our half.
           Our idiot neighbors, got drunk and decided half meant sideways down the driveway, right down the middle of our display case. One of the policemen motioned me off to one side and told me that Hildi had a 20 year rap sheet for disturbing the peace. I, however, believe it is the natural inherent conduct of stupid people, who get jealous whenever they see others getting near the completion of a large project. I have this behavior so well documented in my life that I won't cover it again.].
