Can anyone tell me what use you could find in a giant army vehicle with a trailer? I ask this because the neighbor at the end of the block just got one.
This is really just the newest addition to her collection. She also has a beat up police car, the front of a semi truck, a street cleaner, a trailer and electric van that doesn't work — I know this because "Does not run" is written on side door in crayon. Where does one find this stuff?
And what is the motivation? "Wow, that's a great deal on a street cleaner"?
So I was walking home for lunch the other day when I noticed the army truck. It's one of those boxy ones with a pull-down door in the back, something you would see in MASH. I can't figure it out.
I shouldn't be surprised. I can't really figure the lady who lives there out either. She's actually kind of young — I would guess early 40s. I see her out there all the time gardening — all the time, once at like 2 a.m. She has been doing a major overhaul of her expansive yard, throwing brush into a pile out front and putting up fencing. The funny thing is, nothing ever seems to change. It looks the same as when she started at least 2 and half years ago — when I first noticed.
Anyway, it makes for thought provoking lunch time walks.
Lesson Learned: A street cleaner doesn't help with gardening.

You should take notes on her comings and goings, and use her as a character in the novel you'll be writing before too long.
