Nasty surprise – yucca and CIDP cut back !!!

[Mazat]

When we wanted to show our guest Fred the community garden earlier, we discovered this...

The caretaker's assistant had cut back the yucca and CIDP.

We had to control ourselves not to freak out.

Sabine reacted immediately and told him to keep his hands off in future...

I was angry, sad, and stunned ... d...

That seems rather peculiar to target something so innocuous, then intentionally mar it's appearance. Someone not truly knowing anything about what they were attending to, would likely have cut it down entirely. It seems malicious to me.

Interesting, Sabine told me the same thing. The guy didn't seem to regret it until his boss arrived, and then he got nervous.

Sabine was a good kickboxer, technically skilled with excellent timing, tremendous power, and speed. During training back then, she had knocked out one of our competitors (black belt) several times. I think the guy would have fallen over and drifted off into dreamland. However, she wouldn't hurt a fly, and the same goes for me.

Ouch! What moron would take clippers to a tiny palm seedling? He should have pulled weeds and laid mulch.

I suggest you tell his boss you don't want him coming closer than 3 blocks from your property.

Is that how she always gets such great deals on plants? 😂

Yes, Sabine told the boss she didn't want to see that guy anymore.

In the end, he just grinned at me, and Fred calmed me down.

This person's behavior was actually unbelievable, incomprehensible.

Thank you very much, John.

That's really good, and you make me laugh, which feels good.

Yes, she has enormous power for a woman, which is why I'm always nice to her, but not submissive 😁

I don't condone violence, but I've got a very large sledgehammer I'd loan out as long as you wipe all my prints off of it first. His name is Mr. Poundy and just his presence saved me once or twice. It's a crazy story.

Yes, life is truly crazy, and there are people who do things that cause harm to other people, animals, and plants in this case, which are simply incomprehensible.

I'm glad it saved you.

[Mazat]

What do you think, will the plant survive anyway?

In any case, it seems to be firmly rooted in the ground.

It was Florida so of course it's crazy. But I lived in this really bad trailer park and some guy randomly shows up at my door looking for someone else and threatened me with a samurai sword..... For real. I kept the hammer by the door because it was a rough neighborhood, so I'm like Ok Zorro, let's go. This guy tells me I'm gonna be bleeding from like 12 places before I land one shot, I tell him I only need to land one shot and I'm going right for his kneecaps. Besides, I can get stitches, chicks dig scars, and he's gonna walk funny for the rest of his life and for what? You're looking for someone who doesn't live here anymore. Sure you'll get good parking spots, but every time it gets cold or it rains your leg is gonna swell up and for what? 

 

He got in his truck and left.

They're great, friends. They have some really good stories. I liked the one about Mazat a bit, and even more so the one about Sir Juan and Sancho. Richard's performance wasn't bad. I laughed a lot, friends.
