Had another "Only in Galveston" moment today.
So we have some college kids that rent a house across the alley behind us. Fortunately, we don't have many issues with them but other neighbors do. It was quiet all summer while the house sat vacant waiting for the students to return. And return they have. Bee-bee guns and all.
Apparently, one of our neighbors that we share a back fence line with witnessed some of the college students shooting birds in our back yard. And then they proceeded to try and climb the fence to retrieve their kill/prize. Thankfully, she busted them mid-climb of the fence and told them they were trespassing. I guess the droogs will have a nice treat to scarf on when they get let out this evening.
Seriously? Shooting birds? I guess it's been a while since I was in college. Maybe I should let them borrow my old-school original Nintendo to play Duck Hunt. Then again, they're probably too young to remember it.
Maybe they were really zombie hunting and shot a bird by mistake. College kids have legitimate clubs and organized sports around "zombie hunting".
You are right though. They are a little old for it. You haven't shot birds with a bee-bee gun since you were 10 years old and the police came into our backyard and stopped you guys.
