Feud

We got this little feud going on her in Harper between two of our citizens. It started a couple of years ago when Mr. A decided to get a group of people together to confront Mr. B about his excessive drinking, an intervention. It didn't set well with Mr. B and he swore right then and there to get even with Mr. A. The next year right around Christmas Mr. B sent out invitations for a party that was to be held at Mr. A's house. It was what they call a BYOB party (bring your own bottle). People started showing up on the day on the invitation. Mr. A was quick to figure out who was involved in this prank and in his decision to use this as an opportunity to get back at Mr. B. He had his wife take the bottles out to his truck as they arrived. He told the guests that there would be no drinking before everyone was there. After a while he informed the guests that all the booze had been sent over to Mr. B's house. Mr. B was in need of drink for the holidays and was short on money and he was just helping him with his needs. Of course, the guest were outraged, but Mr A stood his ground and sent them on their way. People started showing up at Mr. B's house wanting their bottles back. Unfortunately there was a little accident on the way over and the boxes fell off the back of the truck. The volunteer fire department was called in to wash off Harper Lake Road. We are waiting to see what happens this year.
