tools (Yes, I was surprised at how much stuff they moved into the backyard. They also moved stuff into the vacant yard [a boat and some kind of big long metal things, etc.]. I think that they chose the vacant yard as a place to squat, but because it doesn't have an electric pole they parked their RV into my backyard. They parked it oddly close to the electric pole. I called the police while I was still out of state. They weren't much help at all, but at least I got them to tell the perps to leave the electric pole alone. And fortunately they did. The city enforcement officer was a lot more help, but he had to go through legal means and that took 3 months. I think the enforcement officer's men took out 6 or 7 pickup truck loads out and then they hauled off the boat and then the RV. Just imagine my relief when I seen that thing leaving the backyard!
That's an interesting story! Speaking of authors, not long after our interaction yesterday it hit me that you said something clever that had went over my head at the time you said. I realized it shortly after though. In late January is when I first mention the word Whangdoodle here [Roald Dahl]. We've been Whangdoodling for 5 months and we switched to giants recently and you mentioned The BFG [Roald Dahl]. We aren't just Whangdoodling, we are keeping a Road Dahl theme! Anyway, I thought your mention of another Roald Dahl work was clever of you!
That's very interesting! I wonder if anyone else has noticed the same connection? I do think dreams are more powerful than most people think. In the Biblical days, God would sometimes communicate with dreams. I often have had very vivid dreams and then something would happen afterward [almost always bad]. For example, 2 years ago I had the most disturbing dream I've had in my life. In my dream, my dad was possessed. I can explain it in an understandable way, but his actions were terrifying. It was so vivid that when I woke up, I still thought I was in the dream...except I thought it was really happening. Once I realized that I had just been dreaming, I stopped being concerned. Not long after this dream, I was out of state and while I was out of state my dad fell. He laid on the ground not quite 24 hours. When I didn't know what was going on with him, I called the police for a wellness check. They found him and called the ambulance which took him to the hospital. Well, there he claimed he'd been laying on the ground for days (3 days, he said). An investigation was opened against me. I was talked to by case workers and an APS investigator. Then I received a paper stating their findings...Probable Cause of Neglect and Exploitation! I was stunned. Even though I didn't agree about the neglect, I could understand it. But, I couldn't understand the exploitation part. I still don't know where they got that at. Fortunately, dad did not want press charges...but he continued to insist that he laid on the ground for 3 days. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting that I had that incredibly vivid and disturbing dream before that ordeal happened, which was a very stressful ordeal, I might add. I certainly wasn't as pleased as pie lol.)
