A few years ago, when HOS (Hick's Oldest Son) lived out here, he built a bus-waiting shed for some kids who had to walk a mile from their house, and wait for the bus. Nothing fancy. Just a roof and four walls and a plexiglass window, so they could get out of the elements in inclement weather.
They used it often, but have since moved. I'd say they've been gone for about a year, but school was remote for part of the time they were still living here. The bus shed was fine. Hick put a padlock on the door because he saw some Creachers (strangers at our creek beach) sitting in it.
Nothing lasts forever. Last week, some ne'er-do-wells had to do what ne'er-do-wells do well.
They broke into the bus-waiting shed. But that wasn't good enough. They had to destroy the plexiglass window. Why would anyone feel like that was necessary? Do they have an animosity for bus-waiters? A fear of sheds?
Would this be a fun recreational activity, tearing up a bus-waiting shed? Does it make you feel strong? Righteous? "No bus-waiting shed shall remain on somebody else's property on MY WATCH!"
What, exactly, is wrong with people? I guess we're lucky they didn't tip it over in the creek. I suspect the ne'er-do-wells are not known for creative thinking.
Hick says when he brings his tractor home from Pony House, he will pick up the bus-wating shed, and bring it up here to our property. Not because we need more junk, but so it will stop being both an eyesore and an attraction.
A prime example of how the world has more horses asses than it has horses.
ReplyDeleteYes, the world has ample horses' asses. There will never be a shortage. They won't go extinct, no matter what the climate does or doesn't do.
DeleteWhat exactly is wrong with people? There's a very long list of answers there, beginning with stupid, moving on to why should someone else have what we can't have, and so on down the line. Senseless destruction for no good reason is all it is. I'm glad Hick will remove it.
ReplyDeleteYep. No more fun for those ne'er-do-wells! They'll have to go back to destroying mailboxes. Which is a federal offense. And almost impossible on Mailbox Row, since they're encased in a long wooden box to prevent bashing.
DeleteI kind of liked it when ours was exposed. EmBee is made out of 1-inch-thick metal pipe. I love imagining some ne'er-do-well whacking it with a baseball bat!
I no longer comprehend my fellow residents of Planet Earth.
ReplyDeleteI need to write a business plan for my proposed handbasket factory. I sense in increased demand for this product...
