The Ghost and the Darkness

Even though our apt is very nice, relatively new as well. Late 90's I would guess that it was built, there are a few "quirks" that one has to deal with. One of them is that the landlord "Chuck", (whom I've yet to meet in person, but imagine to look somewhat like Dwayne F. Schneider From "One Day At A Time" fame), hasn't grasped the concept of snow removal from his properties very well yet.
I'd like to take him aside and explain, "Now, from about November to April, this portion of the Earth is further away from the sun, you know what that is right? That big yellow thing in the sky that you used to stare at as a child? Anyway, when it's further away and water falls out of the sky, it freezes and turns to snow, got that?" I would imagine him to be nodding at this point. "When this 'snow' falls and the wind blows, it gets into great big piles." "That's when you come along and remove the snow, like we pay you to do." I think he's waiting for the spring melt to take care of it

I don't know how far it would get with him either. He's the same landlord that told Katie's brother over the phone that the root cause of his dishwasher noise was a pistachio that had fallen in there. Not that something had fallen in there, but specifically a pistachio. I'm going to refrain from calling him if I can.

Me: "Chuck, garage door is broke"

Chuck: "Probably a rouge elephant that ran into it"

Me: "Chuck, security lights went out on the outside of the building."

Chuck: "Alien attack. Without doubt. Gohrknids from Nebula 12 shooting lasers at them. Only logical explanation."

Anyways, what I wanted to tell you about today is the fact that there is this cold spot in the house. It exists specifically in the bedroom. The rest of the house, including the kitchen floor maintains a constant 102.8 degrees regardless of what you set the temp at, but the bedroom stays at a cool 64. Mind you this isn't an overly large apartment so I'm perplexed as to how the temp can vary that greatly between spaces 12 feet from each other.

I have two theories. One is that these apartments are the standard, crappy, cookie cutter ones that the builders in town pump out. Put in shoddy insulation, bad pipes and generally the cheapest materials they can find in order to overcharge people rent as quickly as possible.

The other theory, and Katie won't like this........ Chuck had these built on an old Indian Burial ground...... In essence, the building is haunted by the ghost of Chief Two-Feathers, or someone similar to that name. I tend to think this more to be the case. Nothing concrete to substantiate my theory, just a gut feeling.

So, if anyone knows a good medium I could get in touch with, that would be great.

Thanks.
