Left behind

We have climate controled storage units. If you want to store your very valuable things with us, like say old books you are never going to read or Christmas decorations you will want, maybe in 5 years, we will make sure they don't freeze or get damaged by our lovely Iowa high humidity. Because we have a furnace and an air conditioner and a dehumidifier in the building.

Of course, when I pull up in the morning and see that a tenant has blocked the door open overnight, it kinda defeats all our efforts. We have found we use our security cameras to police the tenants. Yea, you looked up at the camera when you loaded out the cart that belongs at the building. I am sure you made a mistake when you took it, so bring it BACK! Oh yea, we saw you block open the door and drive away, so don't do that again. No one seems to take it seriously that the sign says security cameras. These are not fake cameras, they are watching you. It's like the song. 

We see you when you're smoking. 

We see you when you steal. 

We know when you are bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.  

You better be nice

like sugar and spice

cause our cameras are watching you.

That my friends is a pile of dead roaches in an insecticide dust. We have a house that we are killing roaches in. One morning last week I counted 176 dead roaches. As of this morning in the last 24 hours only 86 died where I could find them. Progress is being made. I do wish the tenant had taken all his little friends with him when he moved becuase we have an empty house till we can be sure the roach count is zero, nada, nothing, all gone.

At the same house there was a jug of liquid left in the garage. No lid on it. I smelled it (I know that could have been dangerous. What if it was a chemical, Nah, couldn't be could it? It had no odor and the consistancy of water.) I poured it out. Strange how that water seems to have killed the grass. Hmm it must have been water so pure that it tied up all the nutrients and the grass died of starvation. yea that's it, I'm sure of it.

The house we are working on now had not had the yard cleaned up for, I am guessing here, 40 years. It was full of trees. The tree service came with those lovely machines and made the trees gone. I love how they grab the tree and it just cuts a chunk off. they have another machine that picks up the pieces and puts them in big trucks and away they go. Almost magical to watch. The trees all gone in a matter of a couple of hours.

So lets see, tenants leaving doors blocked open, roaches left in a house, an open jug of some chemical left, and trees left to grow till the yard was full. It was a week of things being left behind. There are people who say they are going to Heaven because they are good people. Well they are not going to heaven because they are good people. They will be left behind, like unwanted insects, chemicals and trees. The door is open only to sinners who know they are sinners. Jesus paid for them and has blocked the door open so they can go to Heaven.
