Re: now heat/weeds

Alan is the Director of EMS/ESDA Director/Plumbing inspector for the
Village!  Across the street is one of towns biggest pain....excuse me
"watch dogs"!  So if the grass would get 1 inch higher than he
though...we would get reported to the village.  One year the Daffodils
were still dying off and he reported them as tall Weeds!  Need I say
more!  Short of a duct tape and hide the body...we get reported for
any little thing....put in flag pole...he wanted to know if we had
gotten the permit!  What a guy!!!  Gray water not retrievable around
here that I know of!  Body fluid crossed mind ... the neighbors that
is!!!  the human body is what % fluid???   LOL
