Public apology

By court order, I have been instructed to offer a public apology to my neighbor, Stan Ockers, retired cyclist.  As a reaction to my interview in the local newspaper “The League of Pigeon Fanciers”, in which I stated that this accident was entirely his own fault. 

Yes, I understand that the postmodern evolution of Feng Shui is lost on pensioners, but to my defense, that doesn’t mean that he can’t try to keep an open mind.  If he had given me permission to let the grab crane drive through his yard, we wouldn’t have had to try and lift the 3 ton Tibetan Salmon Color Granite over his roof, to get it in my Japanese rock & bonsai Garden.

I also realize – which the claimant’s attorney repeated over and over – the irony of the fact that according to Feng Shui, the external changes in your environment are supposed to bring about more happiness, not less.   Being held in contempt of court, for pointing out that this could still prove to be the case, because Stan did argue with his wife a lot, and she is still missing, … was a deplorable consequence.
