Front Porch Talk

Most gossip happens on the front porch and not all gossip is bad either, some of it can be informational, some can be silly and of course some can be downright mean. Today I learned that Anthony, my neighbor across the road, will be released from jail in October and it seems that Anthony is a meth head, so I was told to prepare myself for the influx of traffic that will most likely occur with his buying and selling of illegal substances. I know what you're thinking, just call the law, well that would be the ideal thing to do but Anthony's daddy likes to sit and monitor the police scanner while drinking himself silly and since we all reside on a dead end road anytime there's a call to our little slice of heaven, daddy just makes a call telling Anthony to get the hell outta dodge. It's been a rather peaceful year and I intend to keep it that way not sure exactly how I'm going to accomplish that but I reckon I will do some studying in the two and a half months I have left. Meth is a sad reality here in the south, so many people hooked on it, you can see the tweekers at the grocery store looking like skeletons getting their Mountain Dew fix and if that isn't enough to give them away, most of them have broken or no teeth at all, such a sad state of being and I have no tolerance or sympathies for drug users...none...
