Like I said, this week is a beyotch.
Our street has no parking signs all over it for the week. We moved our cars dutifully. I’ll be in svale all week so that’ll alleviate the crunch. We saw a car get towed this morning. Not sure who’s it was…
Of course, no construction has happened yet.
But now, as I was changing my laundry I heard ‘This is the Santa Cruz police. Come out with your hands up!’ They’re raiding my neighbor Buck’s place again. I count 6 cops, two with assault rifles covering the flanks. There’s squad cars up and down the street (in the no parking zone) with lights flashing. The cops were at the open door for a while but now they’ve all gone inside.
I feel for Buck. He’s a good guy, industrious, an amazing gardener. He does have a drinking problem but that’s been under control lately, since his gf and son left. He has tenants in the granny unit on his property that have not paid rent since the pandemic began. But Buck has always been cool with me, friendly and supportive. We have another neighbor who is crippled from birth - no muscle mass - Buck helps out a lot there moving him (they asked me to do it once but I wasn’t strong enough - he’s heavy, maybe 200 lbs and fragile so I didn’t want to risk it). Anyway, if I didn’t have enough distractions…
