My neighbors on the first floor are punk-ass hipster kids. I hate to be an old man but these kids fucking trash the stairwell, jam the gate and doors open leaving the whole building at risk for thievery and their dog (which they starve out of laziness) barks all the fucking time.

So Carolyn and I went to Iowa for the weekend to stay at a bed and breakfast and spend some time outside of the city.
