Yanking My Yakima

The world and it's overflowing injustice has arrived at my doorstep, literally. In updating this blog I supress the urge to rant, complain or to be an aggressive writer. However, in quoting The Godfather I'll say this, they pull me back in. Everytime. They being the people next door. The people driving in front of me, on my arse behind me and the people cutting in front of me dying to get to the red light faster than anyone else. The people who look on at what I have and take from me during the butt crack of early morning. I swear one of my neighbors is selling drugs and brings in all kinds of garbage into the neighborhood. The other day I get a ring at the door bell at 12am. I nearly opened the door instinctively but then remembered that it was bloody 12am so who is this at my door...it was a guy in a wife beater on his cell phone named Doo. I learned this from behind the door.

The tipping point was last week on Wednesday walking to my car going to work. I usually look around and spot my car right away from the roof rack sticking up higher than most cars. But this morning I don't see it. I first think my car's been stolen. But then I walk closer and realize that someone's stole my Yakima Roof Rack right off my car. It was locked, the only way to get it off is to open all four pilars with a key having the doors open. They didn't have either so they yanked and damaged all four doors in the process. They must have been at it for at least 10 minutes. Someone must have heard or seen this going on. I regret I don't have an alarm. In all it took me alot of money and being carless for a week to get this fixed. I loose faith in people sometimes.

I've been audited by the IRS for not reporting money during the 2007 tax year. Just today I was driving home and I look down to see an unfamiliar engine light on. Not the maintance required light but the other one. The one similar to the red light of death on an xbox system. I just can't catch a break these days.

No worries, I've been audited also for some money not reported years ago. And my check engine light is on and has been for the last 2 mos or so. What doesn't break you makes you stronger!
