The Clean-Up

- More drama with the next-door apartment. Not as bad as before, but annoying.

- Stopped by Target to look at cell phones, but they were too expensive. So I walked out with a Mountain Dew Code Red and a blaster of 2022 Topps Heritage. If you're building the set, feel free to send me your needs list.

Here are a few I plan to keep:

- There was some kind of police stand-off next to my building Monday morning. About 16 cops on the sidewalk focused on the driveway between my building and the next one, police tape closing down the area to non-residents, and 4 more cops on the back balconies of the building behind mine. Eventually, they shot a dude and that ended it.

- Jana Winter laughed at a joke I made on Twitter.

- Scored free cards from Kevin:

The Diamond King

- My razors don't work properly anymore. I've been using the same kind for most of my adult life. Now I have to butcher my face to get the hair off. WTF.

The Clean-Up

- Followed somebody then had to unfollow him a couple weeks later because he's a group breaker.

- Did some volunteering for the March of Dimes.

- Decided to expand my frankensets. So more binder cards and less box cards.

- The madre's coming down in July. Always a mystery what she brings cards-wise, but hopefully she'll get them all down here before one of us dies.

- Got home the other day and cops were talking to a neighbor in the hall.

- My House district was the only one in the state to get eliminated. Ha. It just means I'll have to put up with a different Democrat though.

- The squirrels are out of control.

- A young lady broke the glass on the fire extinguisher next to my door so she could use it to break my next-door neighbor's door down, because according to her she lives there but she lost her key.

- Another trade flurry on TCDB:

Sent deadhead11 6 Saints cards and got 6 early 1990s football cards in return:
