[Kitsa]

Some people a couple of doors down from us got evicted and they already had the reputation for being filthy (the grass in their lawn was like 2 feet tall, they had a bunch of starved and beaten animals wandering the neighborhood, etc). So I guess they left everything behind and the landlord has piled it all up on the curb. It's taller than I am (5') and the length of the house and you can smell the cat piss all the way down at the end of the street.

Anyway, our neighborhood is always being prowled by trashpickers the day before the city comes to pick up "special" trash like old furniture and whatnot. So I was out walking with my kid and I see this ratty old van stop in front of what I'm calling the "eviction pile", for lack of a better term. And they get out of the van, they go over to the pile, and suddenly they run back to the van as fast as their little legs will carry them and slam the doors and burn rubber getting away.

I'm curious. Bees? Rabid raccoons nesting in the pile?
