A “leap second” happened last year on New Years. I guess the guys who run the universal clock figured they have to make up for “lost time.” LOL. That extra second only gave me more misery. So thankfully, there was no extra seconds thrown into this calendar year. Although it’s going to be a good year, I can feel it.

One weird thing happened though. I have this neighbor with a big dog, a Weimeraner, who’s always so nice to me. He always remembers what we’ve talked about, asks me what’s going on, etc. Really sweet guy. And I feel so guilty because I can’t ever remember his name! So awful…

Well, yesterday, in broad daylight, he got in a huge fist fight with another guy, who is also a neighbor, and ended up smashing a bottle on his head! The other guy ran off bleeding like crazy – I hope he went to the hospital! And my neighbor was arrested. He’s back home today though. Just one night in the slammer I guess before he was bailed out. Rosa, another neighbor, filled me in on the gossip because I was at the lab all day. She heard that my neighbor with the weimer is a con artist and he gypped the other guy out of something like ten grand! And up till now, it’s been escalating in verbal fights. I guess last night, it got physical. Can you believe it? You get conned out of ten thousand dollars and then the same grifter smashes a bottle over your head?
