Week 3: Brick
Three doors down, on the corner, lived "the Major", a retired WWII Veteran. From the day he moved in, he bricked over every bit of ground on his property and planted low maintenance shrubbery.
The Three Gulls loved to walk on the brick outer wall - it was just wide enough for our bare feet to pretend we were walking a tightrope in a circus.
We dreaded hearing him yell at us, "GET OFF MY BRICK!!"
Not unlike Clint Eastwood's "Get off my lawn!" only, thankfully, no shot gun was involved.
