Alright, I understand roads need to be fixed and sewer work needs to be done but for the love of god does it all have to happen at once? Every street and I mean every street in an 8 block radius is reduced to one lane or closed all together down here by my office. It’s almost impossible to get here or god forbid if you have to leave to run an errand. You have to drive 20 minutes out of your way to get anywhere or back here from wherever it was you had to go. If you think I’m joking check it out yourself at:

Looking for Sherlock Holmes....

So does anyone know a good detective? There are a couple people who I don’t really know anything about that I would like to find more information on. What I do know is only hear-say. I have searched every website known to man on how to find someone but when you don’t know much about them it’s a bit hard. I know you probably have no idea what I am talking about but if you would like to help me or have tons of spare time to spend doing my dirty work, heck just ask and I’d be glad to let you know what I’m up to.
