Toys

I live in a pretty solid middle class neighborhood.

Current economic situation notwithstanding, most of my neighbors have disposable income.

There's several swimming pools - a couple homes even have tennis courts.

All the kids get new cars or trucks when they turn 16 or 17.

The yards are seriously landscaped. Some professionally installed and maintained. Except for mine of course.

John Deere lawn tractors. Lots of boats and jet skis in the garages and driveways.

You know - Toys.

So this week - in front of Dick and Nancy's house - appeared this:

 

 

 

Now - I like playing "keeping up with the Jones's" as much as anybody.

But how the hell am I supposed to top that!?!

Jeeeez . . . .

Bill,

There are two ways to top the torpedo:

1. An actual US Submarine on your front lawn.

2. 5.3 million tons of Japanese shipping on your front lawn.
