I live about a half block from one of the local high schools, and get a fair share of the unhappy consequences: kids sitting on my front steps smoking, tossing cigarette butts in the yard, candy wrappers in the garden, plants and flowers ripped up. But there are some good sides, and some nice kids from the neighborhood that I've watched grow up and who always say hi, even though it's embarrassing to have that old lady in her goofy gardening outfit waving at you. One of my favorites is a young woman who always takes the time to walk by and pet the dogs, undeterred by their vociferousness. Plus, she used to wear blue hair, which totally rocks.
Today as she walked by she stopped, but didn't say hello or speak to the animals. And I noted that she was wearing a homemade National Day of Silence t-shirt. Double rock.
