VOTE QUIMBY CHANDRA

I met our new next door neighbor(s) yesterdee. They actually closed on their house the week after we did last year. Not sure the deal they actually struck - but the old owners didn't move out until maybe November - then so much of the house was gutted. Dumpster after dumpster was hauled away. I'm guessing the carpeting and everything was a part icky and part not the new owner's taste.

So the wife come over yesterday w/her triple stroller!!!! Yes, you heard right. Triplets. 24 mos old (or in non-parent terms: 2yrs old!) Two identical...one not. Cute little kids. I mean - for kids. Kids who are not related to you in anyway shape or form.

Meena is the wife's name. Her husband is Subodh. They are both lawyers - she being a civil rights attorney, he is running for the Attorney General of Ohio as the democratic candidate!!!! YAYYYYY. Someone has to beat that wench Betty Montgomery! My fear is: this is Ohio. What chance does a minority (Indian) have a chance to win this thing?

Since she had the stroller and the three kids - I didn't really invite her in, though we stood and chatted for maybe 20 min. She'd already seen the house though. She and her husband and put in a bid on it months before we did. They got turned down (obviously). But we have in common that we think the previous owners were douchebags. Meena admitted that they low-balled the offer, as did we. However, they were like the 4th couple to low-ball them. I think that's what got the previous owners to get it into their heads that they were being unrealistic about price.

Both Meena and I agreed it will be good to have nice neighbors (I don't know where Denton disappeared to, but he didn't get to meet her).

The good news is - we have nice neighbours. Possibly 'connected' neighbours. And most important - democrats as neighbours (but let's be fair: this is Cleveland Ambler Heights. How many republicans do you think actually live here?
