In 1929, bankers would have done it for real. Modern day counterparts lack the gumption.

Just a 'funny' but 'un-funny' observation.

The windows above and below Buddy's appear to be solidly boarded up (they aren't blinds or shutters). Me thinks that there's probably a very good reason for that. I'd do the same if I had neighbours like this.

He was doing the same thing at my old apartment building until our tenants association recieved too many complaints and he was finally evicted. I can see that 'Buddy' is up to his old tricks at his new place. Always trying to get attention, just to get a few laughs out of his shock and awe pranks.

This next step will require commitment.

No turning back, now.

Methinks, it might be time to turn the corner.

Someday I'll think back on this and laugh.

Was it worth it?

So I make it to the balcony, then what?

Up, down, around? I just left that.
