Sixth st.

We lived on Sixth street for about 15 years, during that time we got to know most people that lived there or in the area. I did get to know these three characters that would walk by the house quite often carrying a bunch of bottles that they would cash in at the store and buy themselves some booze and get snockered. One day I was mowing my front yard and they came walking by and they started talking about the night before, apparently they bought some beer and drank it at the park near by and got pretty wasted, they were too drunk to go home so they decided to go to the rice mill behind my house and get out of the cold. It was pretty cold outside so they went in one of the silos or the tall building, I couldn't understand them too well cause they were still drunk, anyway they told me the three of them went inside and sat next to this ladder that went straight up the wall, and they started to finish up the last of their beer when one of them got up and said he was going to climb the ladder, they tried talking him out of it, but he was adamant he was going to climb the ladder, so the other two said heck with it let him go, well they said it was dark in there and they watched him for a bit then they sat down next to the ladder and finished off the beer, then they heard this big thud and they got up and sure enough it was their brother, they got up and checked him out and they came to the conclusion that he was dead and they didn't know what to do, so they left him there and went home and went to bed, they said about two three hours later he came home, apparently he had just been knocked out. They came by my house later that day and were telling me what happened and all three of them were cracking up. Knowing these Dudes, I believe they are totally capable of doing something like this. Another time my wife and I were asleep and we heard people arguing outside, so I get up and look out the window and there was two drunk girls arguing with two people in the car a guy and girl, they were calling the girl in the car all kinds of names, the Dude in the car jumps out the car and punches one of the girls in the face and lays her out,  jumps back in his car and he was gone, the one girl gets the other girl up and they go staggering down the street. We must have missed a good party that night.
