Westside Story – Joe Boyle Admits Crack and Weed Problem

November 24, 2020 By Joe Boyle

Long time Lakewood resident of over a half a century, Joe Boyle, admits he suffers from a crack and weed problem.

It has been going on for years without anyone knowing. Even the Lakewood Police have never discovered Joe’s crack and weed problem. There does not seem to be any long term fix in sight.

Joe embarrassingly admits he cannot leave the weed alone.

Of course, Joe is not committing a crime since voters while smoking weed voted to make weed legal.

A color photo will give you a better idea of how devastating it can be to suffer from a crack and weed problem.

It is embarrassing to have a stunning washed aggregate driveway spoiled with weeds in the concrete cracks.

Hey readers, thanks for letting me tell my tale in 3rd person.

      Nrad,

      Thanks for reading and for sharing with me the fact that my writing has brought you enjoyment.

      I often take big chances with my writing by moving down pathways where others do not tread.

      My writing goal is to distract others from the troubles of the day, entertain, support, educate, and most importantly, help my readers find a laugh.

      Joseph Boyle

    We now know why you have not written an article for the Suburban Times lately. I’m proud of you for completing a rehab program. May you remain free of crack and weed for your remaining years on earth. Should you experience a relapse, try Roundup over ice. Ha.

        Tom,

        I am going to seriously look into your flame thrower idea. It is a concept I learned of as a kid following WWII. Sounds feasible.

        I am going to check out some of the other suggestions.

        Together, we can very likely solve my crack and weed problem.
