The "Real" OC


-Our dear friends Scott and Kimberly, who sometimes comment on my blog, live in Alaska.
-They left their car behind in San Diego when they moved north three years ago.
-We tried to sell it for them, unsuccessfully.
-It is now sitting outside our house since Scott used it to drive here from San Diego when he visited last month.
-If anyone wants to buy a beautiful 2000 Volkswagen Passat in great condition, please let me know.
-Scott also blogs.
-Lake Forest, the town I live in, is one of the top ten safest cities in America.
-So are Mission Viejo and Irvine, the two cities that border us.
-The people here credit the amazing police department.
-The real reason we are in the top ten is that only upper middle class people live here and there are no stores, only tract homes with Nazi-like home owners associations, so not much reason to be here wandering the streets at night.
-The Real Housewives of the OC is a new reality TV show.
-I don't know why they need a show for that. Just rent the Stepford Wives and/or read my blog.
-Along with The OC and The Real OC: Laguna Beach, that brings the total of unrealistic Orange County shows up to three.
-My next door neighbor stopped by this weekend with this announcement: "We are knocking on doors around the block to see if we can find the owners of that red Passat with Alaska plates. It is against code for it to be here for more that 72 hours and we want the association to look into it."
-Lake Forest might be in the top ten due to the extreme measures of the neighborhood watch program.
-I think a good new show would be: The "Real" OC: Neighborhood Vigilanty Justice.
-They could have an entire, heart-stopping, jaw-dropping episode on finding the owner of the red Passat on our suburban cul-de-sac.
-The car is going back to San Diego next week.
-I hope that will bring our standing from 9th safest city up to at least 4th or 5th.

Yes, we admited it was ours and he acted appropriately shamed: "Oh, well, uh, I'm glad we know it is yours so that we don't report it...sorry."

Franz: I will discuss this with your wife tonight over cassoulet and drinks.
