“It could be worse - it could be raining.”

The American Film Institute is deciding on the top 100 movie quotes of all time. Among the favorites are “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” and “Houston, we have a problem.” It was fun reading through the list of contenders and remembering all the good quotes over the years.

AFI has also compiled other movie-related lists.

So what’s up with our neighbors? On one side is a couple, that own four cars. For some reason, they park them up and down the street and NEVER in their driveway. Once I watched as the husband stood outside and guided the wife in her car out of the garage, past his car parked in the driveway and into the street. I suspect there was an incident where she ran into a car in the drive and now needs assistance. So he parks all the cars in the street, away from reverse-challenged wife to avoid a collision. Her car is the only one left in the garage and has a clear path to the street.

On the other side are three people with four cars. I counted and there are ten places to park on their property. So why must they leave their ugly van in front of our house blocking the mailbox? What’s the extra car for? Why are they invading our bubble? I’d talk to them about it but the only evidence I see that someone actually lives in the house is the movement of all these cars.

I guess it could be worse - it could be raining.
