» Scary Neighbours

my neighbours
this topic was enough to make me register for the forum, because I couldn't possibly keep the makeup of my colourful neighbourhood to myself.

First of all, a few houses down, there is the eccentric mathematician with an epsilon "tattooed" on her tooth in gold. Along with the other mildly interesting neighbours include, across the street an old, often drunk, redneck with two canes who likes to shout "here comes trouble!" when I leave my house. A few houses down from me in the opposite direction from the mathematician is a 40-something "piano teacher" who keeps late hours and does all her (front) yard work in red hot pants and a bikini top....and for some reason she has a continually lit red light in her front porch. Now, across the street from her is a man, who, when his mother (who he was still living with at 40) died, he began wearing her clothes, and made a "transition." There now seem to be a large number of gender-inspecific people inhabiting this house with him, a few cats, and a dog. Lastly, and it really is a shame because he moved, but not long ago, "pigeon-man" lived about 6 houses down from me. He had approximately 25 pigeons which he kept in a garage-sized cage. They were trained to circle around his roof for hours until he whistled them back to their cage. At least they didn't shit all over the place. At any rate, even with pigeon-man gone, there are enough sites to behold from my front window.
