Landlord Man awoke quite rested this morning. No tingling sensation telling him that something was wrong. The senses are a little messed up due to all of the never ending booze, so this isn't 100% science.
Happy and smiling in my robe I reach for the first cup of coffee, grab my laptop and check the Rain for the Daily News Flashes. Shiller is talking about Bread Crust, Bouler with more comments on Localism, all is right with the world.
Then it happens. 7:55am Eastern Standard Time. The cell phone rings. It's the red one. 999-9999 on the caller ID. DANGER-DANGER-DANGER
Mrs. Landlord Man takes the call as Mr. Landlord man has escaped to the other room momentarily. I return and she looks confused.
"Landlord Man," she says, "That was Bill. The tenants are calling his law firm. He says to keep your head down today."
I guess the lack of tingling was wrong. Just to be safe, the Mercedes stays at the house today. I think it is time for the Landlord Mobile to come out of storage.

Clearly the spidey senses aren't working. Otherwise is wouldn't have come as a surprise that one of taser boy's buddies is trying to shake down another tenant in order to get rent money and stop eviction proceedings. Yea! I love property management!!!
