I’ll report later about the cukes. Mike doesn’t, as far as I know, own a gun. He waves flags on the Blvd with his friends and calls the police about every single imagined issue he can think of, but the police have warned him to stop. He’s bipolar, displays poor boundaries with young women and

I will outlast him, I have a great relationship with his older kid now and he does not. I’m already winning.

So weird, but they have been charting Mike’s aggression and think he is ramping back up to annoying as the seasons change. Also, they have an abundance of cantaloupes and I should not be surprised to find a few on my porch later this week.
