Well, kids, nothing severe to report this time, but because I promised to publicly log everything that Mr. Cranky Pants does to us (or tries to do to us), here's our latest report from about 15 minutes ago: Mr. Cranky Pants attempted to "intimidate" my husband by staring him down with evil eyes. My husband had to run to and from his car a few times to find some stuff, and Mr. Cranky Pants shot him nasty looks the whole time. Happy Holidays, Mr. Cranky Pants! Keep on spreading that good-hearted holiday spirit. I mean, you are one of this town's finest, most upstanding citizens, right?

Anyway, Kids, don't you fear--most of the people in this town ARE fine, upstanding citizens. It's too bad even one bad apple has to mar the reputation of this place. But I guess every town has a Mr. Cranky Pants, right?

At least Mr. Cranky Pants did not try to talk to us--otherwise we would have grounds to institute the restraining order (a.k.a. peace order), as we have grounds to do because we served him with a "cease and desist" letter a few months ago. Unfortunately, trying to be intimindating and shooting someone nasty looks is not criteria for a peace order, so I guess the games will continue into 2008. 

I came home from work tonight and noticed that someone had stolen my pumpkin and my gooseneck gourd out of my front yard. OK, how petty can you get? My number one suspect is, of course, my harassing neighbor. But why would he bother to do this? I mean, pumpkin thievery?

By the way, my harassing neighbor had his lawyer fire off a letter to me this week. Some of you might be entertained by the contents, so I might print some of the excerpts here later on, with names removed, of course. My neighbor and his lawyer claim that my neighbor is an upstanding citizen who has never done anything bad in his entire life. I'm making all of this stuff up, of course, that must be it! Those multiple marks in my bumper that perfectly line up with the screws in his license plate are a complete figment of my imagination! Please.

Anyway, because this harassment is turning into a ludicrous soap opera that seemingly has no end, I will keep posting the events as they transpire in my online journal, hoping that a witness to his acts will come forward one day to help stop the harassment.
