storytimewithjoeWhat IS it with some people in this world?
The main reason that I don't like living in Santa Ana is because of the kind of people that are so prevalent. We all hear horror stories of 2 bedroom apartments that are sheltering 5 illegal Mexican families. I frequently see mothers walking down the streets with stolen shopping carts and tons of out-of-control kids in tow. Often, I have seen such kids blatantly destroying or disrespecting other people's property. Yadda-yadda-yadda.
I really liked those flowers. They had weathered a tough season last year, and had come back beautifully this year. I made a point to water them every day. We planted them right out by the street front in an attempt to actually make the front area by the street look just a little nicer. But no longer. I got home yesterday morning, and some asshole had ripped them right out of the ground, along with all the white climatis flowers that had just begun to bloom.
To whomever you are - you are a selfish, inconsiderate asshole.
Sure, I can plant more, but they won't be by the street front. I will plant more in my own back yard, strictly for our enjoyment, and for nobody elses. I will put no more effort into trying to make the neighborhood look better for anybody else but us. If the people of this city care so little, I will bide my time until good fortune strikes and we move away.
