My California had Invisible People in Shelltown San Diego

in #busy5 years ago (edited)

My landlord had some type of fit last night and broke a power strip that did not quite make it to the trash.

On the fence are some clothes and pillows anyone passing by can take for free. Someone will have taken them by the time I get back from the store.

I'm going out shopping early from my Shelltown San Diego rental in April 2015. I'm out so early that the morning rush is in full swing at this entrance to the 5 Freeway. I am so glad to be walking faster than these cars are moving.

Pretty skies on this day.

But who is looking when driving in this mess?

The Jacaranda trees bloomed early that year and I was so happy to see them looking pretty on this street. What looks like some odd plane in this shot...

...is really part of a pair of shoes.

I'm back in the yard of the house now, checking out what's happened since I left. I like this photo and can see the two sidewalks I used to pace on, with the grass strip in the middle. I might process this photo to see what I get!

My landlord thinks I am letting invisible people in through my bedroom window at night. They live here on the property and take great amounts of time to deal with, 24/7.

Protection is needed here so they cannot get in even if I invite them.

My window is 10 feet off the ground and has bars on it but these cords and random junk will keep the invisible people away.

Over in the kitchen, we've got something else going on. A curtain tieback, locks, a bungee cord, and chains are going to keep me out of the fridge.

Or not.

If I do not stop letting the invisible people in the house, I need to leave. So the fridge is more secure the next day to starve me out.

The invisible people are the "everyone" he is referring to in his fridge sign. And stop doing laundry too.

After this, the police came to explain to my Landlord the meaning of "Common Areas" in a shared home.

My post is for @socalsteemit's My California weekly contest. This rental was My California for the time I was there, and I am so glad I have these photos to remember it by.

How is your journey to better health going?

Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

This is Sharon @fitinfun. I am posting:

This is so awesome! Thank you very much for the boost. I love what you do over there , and I am so happy you liked my post.

Wow this is... well I guess "crazy" would be the low-hanging descriptor. Doesn't quite do it justice. Pretty damn interesting though, particularly the bungycorded junk outside the window to stop the invisible people. Are you still in this living situation or is this a "blast" from the past?

No, luckily I am in Malaysia now - as far away as I can get, lol. I have a lot of posts about this man and time in my life. He was the second of 3 very difficult landlords and not the worst!

I'm in @socalsteemit - great group - so I am going through the memory files to get posts for the weekly contests. I lived in San Diego for 20 years and so they let me in :)

I have made a bunch of posts about this landlord. Maybe I should collect and link them. You can see him dancing with the invisible people in the short video here:
