   I can see going that route if/when our lives settle. We're   
   readying another house to move into in a few weeks. Today   
   there was a sheet of paper from the neighbor to the north   
   for us to call her. She's upset that people that did work   
   in our backyard drove on her grass on the border. If   
   they did, it was maybe a couple inches worth at most,   
   and of course we wish to "make good". But then she and   
   her guy rambled on about what they endured from previous   
   neighbors in what is now our house, and fortunately I   
   didn't hear about that until after my wife conversed with   
   them, because I certainly don't want to be roped into what   
   prior owners did.   
      
   Sure hope we didn't inadvertently buy in Moronia! ;-)   
      
   Of course, these people have no idea what's in store for   
   them when it comes to sardonic sarcasm and/or elaborate   
   jokes that don't sound at all funny sans a wink, etc.   
   I'm betting it'll take a sermon and a half on transcendence   
   before they're begging me to stop in exchange for their   
   shutting the fuck up! :-)   
      
   Next on my list: that woman that woman you told me about   
   who relocated to Spain.... :-)
