Have you met the DOL's? My street is full of them. In the late afternoon it can be quite the watering hole, a sort of happy hour. There are usually 3, but sometimes several more join in.
What are the DOL's?
Dad's of Leisure.
Today the DOLs had found themselves a new hang out. It's quite genius actually. They were hanging out in the grassy area in the center of our street (which is circular shaped). From this location, they can watch the incoming cars to know when their wives/girlfriends return home from work. One of the DOLs has two young kids, so he's able to keep an eye on them as they ride their bikes around. The center 'median' for lack of a better term, has some trees, so they get some shade too. The one whose backyard borders the median was actually participating in the gathering by talking over his fence, kinda Wilson style from Home Improvement. It's actually quite comical, but hey, as far as I can tell, they aren't employed, so by staying home and drinking their own beer, they're actually saving money, right? They were out at 4 when I got home and they were still out drinking and chatting away when we went out for our evening walk at 6. Maybe next time I should try to sneak a picture!
