Shagadelic. Sometime in February 2013

On the corner of my block, the way I come home from the tram stop, there's a house where the greenery has taken over. The house is barely visible through all the bushes and trees. It reminds me a bit of the end of Logan's Run.

I don't mind greenery, but walking through this at night on my way home from work is a bit creepy. Particularly when I consider that something like 80% of the world's poisonous spider breeds live in Australia.

I had considered fighting my way through the brush to their door and asking them to trim things back. Then one day as I was walking up the sidewalk, I saw a young guy (late teens) ducking through the back gate into this place. He had an ENORMOUS afro. I realized it could just be that as a family they don't believe in trimming. Period.
