39 Houses Left.

#42 was 3964 Celburne, the portion of the street that was close to Brumley. Since I am on the theme from prior posts, I also sold them girl scout cookies. There were LOTS of boys in the neighborhood (some swore there was something with the water), and a couple boys closer to my sister’s age lived at this house. I didn’t know them very well at all, but I am glad the family bought cookies from me nevertheless. How else would I have gone to Girl Scout Camp and won a badge and a dolly? Thank you, cookie eating primarily-male families of Bridgeton.

You heard me right! Come on down to CRAAAAZY Carl Lambert’s Xmas Tree lot where you cut your own tree FOR FREE! That is right, in fact, cut more trees if you want! They’re probably going to be cut down anyway so hack away you crazy maniacs and nevermind the people who planted such pretty trees in the first place!

“But Crazy Carl Lambert, how does it work?”

Its so easy, its like setting fire to abandoned houses in a poorly patrolled area responsible for by a fledgling major airport! All you do is drive your pickup into Carrollton under the cover of darkness, don’t forget to pack a chainsaw and plenty of gas, and find a tree worthy of your double-wide! Once you have found a spectacular 20 foot specimen planted by a former resident of the area, cut about half of it down! Of course, once you have realized that your living room might not exactly fit a 10 foot tree, be sure to start hacking away at the bottom stump and remaining branches! Leave the debris behind! Don’t forget to enjoy some off-roading through the most vacated areas on your way out!
