Yes indeed,sometimes its a pain to live in a neighborhood swarming with college nightlife. At 1:30 AM I woke to the bellowing of a drunk young man screaming that “the Indians think they run this town.” It certainly doesn’t seem like a very collegiate thing to say even for a drunk. After ten minutes I got up and looked out my front window. Five guys were milling around as though they were waiting for a bus. Every so often an expletive broke the air. I decided that this wasn’t a 911 emergency so I wasted time trying to look up a night desk. The number I called just gave me a long menu so I hung up and dialed 911. As I began describing the group to the dispatcher two of them began uprooting the bus stop sign in front of my house and one of them, the Indian hater I think, heaved it into the street. A black blazer pulled up and they all ran over to drive off with it before anyone could stop them.
Guess who couldn’t get back to sleep?
Half an hour later I crawled out of bed and began composing a special Daily thought for my exclusion from Debate Minnesota. Its 4AM now and before I crawled back into bed I decided to check my blog and website stats. The blogs was the highest its ever been. The welty4congress site was double its previous best. Cool.
