Alice

Alice came over one morning about two weeks ago and rang our doorbell repeatedly. Tino stuck his head out the window to talk to her since we hadn't come downstairs yet. She proceeded to scream at him, call him "bitch" repeatedly and go on and on about how we didn't pay her bills so we should mind our own business. She wouldn't let him get a word in edgewise and she went on to complain that we were racists. Mostly I heard "bitch" and "mind your own damn business" and "you don't pay my bills" (which is inaccurate, actually since their existence is almost entirely financed by the government of the District of Columbia). All this with her infant daughter in her arms.

Yeah, we live in DC because we're racists. Right.

Her provocation was the fact that Tino had complained to David about a dog he had tied to a tree in between our backyards. The dog had shit all over in our yard, and it was barking it's head off because he tied it up so that it couldn't lay down. He also complained about their trash in our yard and the fact that David had lit scrap wood on fire with gasoline covering half the block with petroleum smoke.

David had conceeded all these facts, so I have NO idea what provoked her to do this.
