Parking problems on our street

by The Diva

There’s a lot of cars parking on our street lately. I think it’s because so many people are renting either their homes or rooms in their homes. Naturally each renter seems to have a car so each house has multiple cars and the street has become overcrowded with parked cars.

Our street, or actually the street across from us is also one of the only ones in the area that people can park in without having to have a permit so people that don’t live on the block park here regularly too. One of the people that doesn’t belong on the street, who tends to park and right in front of my house is a van that has a logo for hayward pool heater parts on it. I’ve only been seeing it in the last month or so, but it’s been here regularly. Last fall it was a deck company.

Does your street get a lot of parking on it too? Does it bother you? I don’t mind as long a I can find parking. Every second month we have our shared driveway and then on the odd months we park on the street, but usually we’re ok parking wise.

Very persistent delivery person

by The Diva

Well I think my next door neighbors might be expecting a second child. There’s been a lot of activity at their house over the last couple of weeks and I saw the oddest thing that I ever saw a delivery person do …

A week or so ago a van pulled up in front of our houses. It blocked my driveway. I didn’t see the van pull up and only noticed it after I heard loud knocking at my door. Of course by the time I got to my door the man who’d knocked was proceeding to walk to the neighbors on the right. In his hand he carried a package that looked like it was flowers and maybe baby gifts or something baby related. His van wasn’t marked with any company logos, it was just a plain van … I had thought about opening the door to him to call out to ask what he wanted but since I didn’t even know what company he was from I wondered if it was scam .. especially when I saw that he just kept going from house to house knocking on my neighbors doors.

I guess one of my neighbors many doors down finally opened the door to him and took in the package. The delivery man then walked back to my immediate next door neighbors and left what looked like a note – probably to tell them where he left the package he was delivering.

Wasn’t that strange? I’ve never seen a delivery person so determined to deliver a package. Usually if they can’t deliver they just return the package to the store or to the warehouse and then the customer has to pick it up there or wait until the company tries to deliver it again – right?
