As mentioned in the 'Faulty Parking' section, I just won't listen to reason and park my van the right way around, centered in my driveway all the time. So you can appreciate that Kookooboy had to take matters into his own hands about this. At first, he had a lovely red weather beaten snow fence to keep me off his weeds. He didn't seem to think he had much luck with that, so he added what I think was peanut butter to my side of this fence. Even this didn't teach me a thing! I must be real thick. And so is the city. They made him take the whole damn mess down. So he put up wire. Still, I'm not learning, so now we have the new improved fence -
Behold the work of a raving lunatic
I believe this is in the Arts & Crafts Style. It's certainly not a 'Good Neighbor' Fence
This is what I see if I look left out my front door. The side not shown is brown. I still need to back my van in on occasion, even with this new fence installed. But now the neighborhood suspects he's crazy. Like that's a news flash! I know the first thing he'd do if he ever won a lottery - be eccentric instead of nuts. Actually, we all wonder if he's going to be on a tower someday with a high powered rifle.
Update: Rumor has it that Kookooboy got a citation from the Fire Department. This colorful fence may have had something to do with this.

More Fence Improvements
We have got to arrest trespassing transgressions! If you look closely at the lovely fruitloop fence above, you'll notice a wire coming off the far right side of it. This went down to an anchor and created a barrier for trespassers. It was omitted. So, the improved version of anti-personnel devices was deployed. He did take time out to give a passing bus shit. He told the driver to keep his speed down to between 3-7mph or it makes his house foundation crumble (like his sense of reality). He does cling firmly to his delusions.
- it's a shipping palate, foolishly painted and turned on its side. This guy should check into the Hotel Silly. They would have a nice rubber room and 'I-Love-Me' jacket for him.
November 2, 2004 ... and the lunacy just keeps getting loonier - or how about - "Lookit I can do!" (Stewart, what did Mommy tell you?"). I believe this may be the start of a new obsession to go on for years. Compare the pictures above with the one below. See the difference? One of these things ain't like the other. He came out at lunch time today, while everyone was at work, of course, and added the lovely yellow dots - even to the most recent addition (the Palate).
And that's not the worst of it! He got some paint on MY driveway! AAAAHH.
See? See! See! That's it! I'm calling the department of homeland defense! Stay tuned. I suspect he may get credit for his hard work.
November 8, 2004: More high quality repairs:
That should solve the leaning fence problem. It's not what I would do, but it certainly does the job, assuming aesthetics are not a concern.
November 13, 2004: It seemed only natural to give Kookooboy credit for his artwork. Hence the sign in the picture below:
It reads: "ARTWORK BY: C. XXXXXX - SIGN BY AMUSED NEIGHBOR"
November 16, 2004: Well, that didn't last long. The sign was stolen today by our arteest as witnessed by a couple neighbors and more new dots were added. No more room for any more dots. What's next?
December 3, 2004: This is what's next. Fence goo revisited. This happened sometime during the night. As you know, he's nocturnal. I'm not sure what the crud he smeared on the slats is, but it looks like maybe peanut butter or some kind of grease. I think this now qualifies as an official obsession. What would he fill his days with if he didn't have his obsessions? He could go find gainful employment... AH Ha Ha Ha Ha...... just kidding, no he couldn't.
This new improvement lasted somewhat less time than the stolen sign (As in - hours).
Do you suppose the sign thief would have the audacity to bring in any officials to look into this disappearance? We all eagerly await the next episode of "A Kookooboy and his Fruitloop Fence".
December 19, 2004: Yes, he would. The missing fence components got his attention - and no one else's. Until he made an issue of it. No one cares. No one seems to care about any of the things that are important, dare I say, earth shattering, to him. It would be nice if he would find an obsession that mattered. Like, say, feeding the hungry children of the world or fixing the real pot holes in the road. Nope, he has his silly fence. He reminds me of the snot-nosed teenager on the bus with the purple hair and piercing everywhere that gets mad when you stare.
We did get a visit. What a waste of resources. This is how he spends some of your tax dollars. He's also spent some sending the Fire Department out on a lark on a few occasions.
It goes on and on and on and on and on . . .
August 9, 2005: Well, I think enough people have come by to look at this morons fence and shake their head. Time for a change. Paint won't hold it together, but it will make it a little less hideous. If the colors revert back to artsy-fartsy, a pressure washer or screw driver may come into play (and of course a camera).
