I took Haru out to the park this morning. I parked the car and let Haru hop out of it, only to notice he almost landed on these (fortunately he missed them). Who knows if any were under my tires as I backed in....

Wondering if it's a Telsa maintenance truck that left them. Yesterday there was one swapping tires on a Tesla parked nearby but I can't remember if it was that exact space or not. But I don't know why a Tesla tire truck would be carrying them... Another time there was a Tesla with a smashed window getting it replaced by another Tesla maintenance truck, and after that the shattered glass was left all over the ground for weeks...

I once move into an apartment with a burned out car in front of the building. That was reassuring. /s

The disappointing thing is this complex is actually quite nice and well taken care of, but a ton of residents are gross. They'll leave trash in front of the trash bin storage rooms instead of walking inside because they don't want to go near the actual trash.

A few weeks ago someone posted on the apartment website that another tenant had left a full garbage bag in some bushes beneath this person's window.

We have a bunch of small grass areas and the complex provides free dog poop bags and trash bins, and people still let their dogs poop literally right behind the posts with bags/bin and don't pick it up.

Humans are disgusting.

Speaking of neighbors....

Last week I discovered a couple wasp nests on the ceiling of the small walkway to my apartment front door. Had maintenance/pest control come through to get rid of them

Lo' and behold today I go walk Haru and when we return we find:



It seems like a mud dauber, which isn't dangerous, but it was buzzing around a lot and I'm more worried it gets inside my apartment when I'm coming/going and then stings Haru, because Haru loves hunting flying insects.

I never in my life thought I would come across this scenario.....

......but I have a Taylor Swift song stuck in my head

I fortunately do not know any but....I went to a Waffle House for lunch on Friday. There is an app for their jukebox, which I usually play songs while I'm there eating. Unfortunately someone had queued up 10 Taylor Swift songs.

Unfortunately for them the app has an option to skip the line, so I payed extra to play Meat Loaf and Jimmy Buffett instead.

juke boxes are one of those old things that i'm happy to see go.

people having to request/switch the songs...

Ended up destroying it myself this evening. Took a broom handle to it and then my largest flathead screwdriver to scrape it. These things are built like tanks, it's kinda nuts.

Apparently mud daubers really do just collect a bunch of dirt/moist dirt and turn it into a hard clay nest.

Anyway, hopefully that helps for now, but we'll see.

I don't know, I love jukeboxes. It goes back to a childhood memory thing I'm sure since almost every place we ate out as kids (and that wasn't often, maybe 4 times a year) there was a jukebox and we got to play a song.

They make sprays that keep them from coming back.

We do that all the time. I love those touch tunes juke boxes for that. I’ve seen people flip out over there songs getting skipped though.
