neighbors

The other day I came home from walking Petunia and I noticed a man painting my neighbors' house. The neighbor lady had been telling me for some time that they were going to be getting it done and now that time had arrived. I saw him perched atop the ladder and I knew I needed to act fast. So I ran inside to grab my camera (Sorry Blogyn, I left the holster at home for the walk). By the time I got back outside he was climbing down.

You might be asking yourself why this is funny, but don't worry I am getting there. I also noticed the painter's truck outside my neighbors' house. I almost laughed out loud when I connected the two. Here is the picture of his truck:

Again you might be asking, "Blog Stalker, what is funny about an old Ford truck?" To which I would answer, "Look more closely." For if you looked closely, you would see that the poor old painter has a handicapped license plate. Am I the only one that finds it odd that the man can climb a ladder and paint the second story of a house, but needs to park as close as possible to the grocery store door? I hope the humor is not lost.

So if that didn't make you laugh, picture me trying to perform a stealth photographic mission without my neighbors or their painter noticing. I was hiding behind bushes and cars and slipping unnoticed into the shadows...
