Stealing rocks is a thing.
Well, it’s a thing where I
live. My property, and that of my
immediate neighbors, provides for an amazing array of pretty rocks. I regularly pluck rocks from my neighbors’
ground as I wander around. Some of my neighbors pick up rocks from my property,
too.
This is expected behavior.
Yesterday, upon detecting some unusual
motion outside at the front of my house, I found my neighbor, Kevin, loading
rocks into a small trailer attached to his four-wheeler. He wasn’t actually stealing them this
time. These were rocks displaced by the
addition of my sunroom. I had invited him to grab them some time ago.
Just the same, I ran out front
and yelled at him. Following that, he
invited himself inside for a drink.
“Okay,” I said.

and the Guinness we shared.
A toast to lifting rocks!
