Blow, blow, thou......

Dogs. I love dogs. Nearly all my neighbors have dogs. I do not. I have endured an Irish Setter that pooped on my lawn every day for years and didn't say anything. I got rid of the lawn and the dog disappeared. My neighbor's son rode his motorcycle up and down the hill daily for hours until I threatened to put my house up for sale (his mother said she never heard him so why was I complaining). Neighbor children pulled up all the signs I had put on the species roses collection on the side of my hill. Neighbors cut down 60 eucalyptus trees, which took over a month with sawdust covering many plants in my garden - but I was thrilled to be rid of them.
I use a leaf blower once a week on my driveway but try to make sure the neighbors are not home (we all have one acre plots).I feel that is a weak exchange for living close to other people.Actually we all get along very well and have a party once a year on the anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, whose epicenter is one mile from here.
