How I Spent My Weekend

I spent some more time this weekend in Owen County. I didn’t take many photos, though, because it was just too disgusting and depressing. When we got there on Saturday, we found that there were new holes in the master bedroom walls and the trash we’d picked up, bagged, and stacked last weekend was strewn all over the place again.

Spider and Bath Tub Drain

At one point on Saturday, the couple who had been living in the trailer we’ve been cleaning out showed up. Not a word of apology for demolishing the place and leaving a disgusting pig sty for other people to clean up. Not a mention of the puppy they abandoned or the kitten they left locked inside the trailer with no food or water. Not one word. They just said that they were there to pick up some things and that they’d be back later for the big stuff.

Today, when we got there, the mirror in the master bath was smashed, along with a globe from one of the lights. They did, indeed, come back for the big stuff, and they trashed the place some more while they were at it. What the hell is wrong with these people?

I’m finding it kind of difficult right now to feel very sympathetic toward them.

The Scream (child’s drawing on the front steps to the trailer)

The kids–there were three of them–drew on everything within reach: floors, walls, cupboard doors, and the front steps. Mostly, it was the same screaming face, which was kind of creepy.
