I was peppy and productive today and not just because the weather was terrific; I also got good news. Ronald Hoffman and his A-Team Construction crew from Dillsburg have agreed to undertake some minor repairs I need thanks to last winter's snows. Ron usually does not accept small jobs, so his coming to my rescue takes a load off my mind. The A-Team is responsible for the transformation at Amy and Doug's house opposite The Bare Wall, the now blue one that was once unsightly stucco. It is a lovely home and a big asset to the neighborhood and while Amy and Doug did a lot of work on their own, it was Ron who supervised the entire project. My little problems should be a snap . . . Talked at length with Jaime, the apartment tenant unexpectedly involved in the fracas of a few nights ago but she was unable to shed much light on the incident. She agreed that the stories were conflicting and that piecing together the facts eluded even her. She can say for certain that her son has a big swelling on his noggin which he got when confronting the men involved. She does not rest easy since the gang said they would be "back to get her" and although the door is now boarded up it will be two weeks or so before the window pane will be ready for installation. All this for just sitting at home and minding one's own business. But she said she has seen an increased police presence since the event . . . The space above the bar portion of the old Zephyr Express has been restored to the original two-bedroom apartment and is now for rent. Rumor has again surfaced that the eatery will become a pizza parlor. We have heard that before . . . The charming Dancing Cat statue stands 17 inches high and sells for $62.00. It can be used indoors or out but I cannot imagine anyone relegating it to the patio . . .
