Title: Back in the day

When I first opened my old computer repair shop, it was a part time weekend and evening thing, a one man operation.  To this end, I bought an old service station which had been converted to a pizza shop, both businesses of which were defunct.  I bought it for a song, and converted it to an office/workshop.  With more success came larger digs.

I have, however, held on to it.  Maintainence on it is minimal, taxes on it are a pittance, and it’s pretty puny so I really can’t unload it.  Utilities, for the time I spend there, amount to less than $150 a month.  There’s no grass to speak of there (out back, there’s a 3 foot wide strip next to the alley which I have pretty much deliberately killed and gravelled.)  No phone, no internet, a couch with a hideabed, a desk, a john - it’s my writing hideaway.  No distractions.  Just a little hole in the wall in a little hamlet.

Imagine my surprise when I go there the other night and find that there are people parked there.  The only other place open at that hour was the bar a block and a half down.  Whatever.  I’m just there for a couple files of old stories kept in the safe I had installed when I got it, and to store the [new] master backups for my home computer network.

(Always, ALWAYS, keep your backups off-site!)

As I walked in, I had opportunity to look at the bumpers of the cars parked there.

“Obama ‘08.”  “Hope. Change.” “Obama/Biden.”  All three cars belonging to LIBERALS.  One loaded down with pithy little bumpersticker philosophies that Liberals so love.

On my ****ing property.

Someone buy that man a beer.
