There's a plan in the works to remove Monty from my front porch. It involves a Board friend from Los Angeles and the County Sheriffs Dept.

This morning I decided to brave the 103 degree heat and g buy more ice. As I got out in the yard, Monty confronted me. He was bitching because I refused to let him in the house to watch TV with Liz's friends. I tried to ignore him but he grabbed my cart and refused to let me leave till he was ready.

I moved around the cart, grabbed him and flung him away from my cart. Then I left for the store. I have no idea where my strength to do that came from.

BTW, I'm 63 and Monty s 39.

Mr. Wolf still has some moves. --FLO--

If only I had the moves of young UncleFlo

After I returned from the store that day Monty confronted me, I waited for him to leave. Once he took off down the street, I went outside, grabbed his bedding off my front porch, took it to my backyard and tossed it over my back wall.

Monty hasn't been seen since

I don't doubt he'll return but I'm glad to have a clear front porch for a few days.

Two bits of news today:

• The temperature here is 113 F. Can anyone top that today?

• The reason Monty disappeared from my porch involved lots of hammering last night. Today, I discovered he has built himself a makeshift shelter in my driveway, off to the side. Though I don't want him anywhere on my property, at least he's off my front porch.

If he has electrical hookups to my house, I'll terminate them.

Code enforcement will make you take it down if not give you a fine as well for building a structure with out a permit. Make him take it out NOW! he has no right at all to do this.

Actually, Code enforcement just called me and said the same thing. Liz volunteered to go out and tear it down.

When it cools down a bit from 113 degrees. I'll go help her.

Liz and I went out in the heat and tore down Monty's house

You might consider tearing it down while he is in it. --FLO--
