It’s a nice fall day…a good day to stroll through the neighborhood, enjoy the fresh air, say hi to the neighbors and…HOLY JESUS! KING KONG IS ABOUT TO BREACH THE WALLS OF THE COMPOUND!!!!
I always wondered about the gigantic fence. After all, if King Kong is a ginormous gorilla, why couldn't he climb a really tall fence?
He's going to make it. The decision has to be made: run like hell or stare in horrified fascination.
Interestingly enough, this is not an unusual sight in this neighborhood. Everything from King Kong to a giant dalmation has attempted to breach these sacred walls and invade the complex. The people here live on the edge, never knowing when they’re going to need their rifles, or a sharp stick at the very least.
He has his fist on the top and is making his way in. Now would be a good time to run.
Yes, a sharp stick would do it. While I’m on the subject of bouncy houses, I just thought I’d share a more interesting moment from living next door to a rental place.
Kewel. This one even has a giant slide attached.
Never a dull moment. I’m just glad I finally managed to get back onto the other side of the complex with a camera decent enough to record all the action this time. It’s not Wednesday morning unless I can enjoy a scene like this.
This camera and perspective can't give you an adequate picture of how big that thing is. If it helps, I'm standing on a bench that's approximately 2 feet off the ground and the wall is 9 feet tall.
I’ll be back next Wednesday. There isn’t much happening in this lull between holidays, so I don’t expect too many spectacular sights like this one until closer to the day after American Thanksgiving. Probably just the routine red and yellow jumpers. If a giant turkey shows up, I’ll be the first on the scene. In the mean time, it’s time to finish walking the dog.
Bye, bye, King Kong. Have fun storming the castle. I hope nobody has any sharp sticks close at hand...
