diplomacy

today one of my neighbors had some difficulty with his car. i am elated about this because for the past couple of weeks i have had some difficulty with his car. more specifically, i have had difficulty with his car alarm, a malevolent thing whose activation seemed to negatively correlate with that of my overhead light. this, combined with joseph's predilection for blasting foreigner from his car speakers in the early hours, has ensured a state of consistent sleep deprivation. i tried knocking on the door of what i assume is the car owner's apartment so that he and i could have a polite discussion in a measured tone, but he never seemed to be around. after a couple attempts, i considered the general quality of sandra's tenants, concluded that he was incarcerated or strung out in an alley somewhere, and gave up.

but a couple of sleepless nights later, i decided to send the landlord a message about the situation for you know just the hell of it. shockingly, sandra actually did read my or someone else's email, because today she dispatched her husband to address the issue.

here is a picture of his solution.
