You know, Fish, in my long sad life, it's nice to know I've done somethings right. When I was stationed in Germany we lived in a little German town that was like that. The neighbors were alway bitching about our dogs, my big American truck, and how often I didn't clean the street like they did. We made some very good friends there, too, so don't get me wrong. But I saw the problem mostly as having neighbors.

When I got stationed here in Alabama we deliberately looked for a place with land way out in the country. We found our dream and I really have no neighbors to speak of. We've had a few loose cows to contend with, a wild dog or two (which get shot by most folks here), and the a lot of gun fire on weekends and during hunting season, but all in all I'm glad we don't live near others imposing their ways on us.

You know AB, you are just soooo right.

I envy and admire you. I'd love to be on a big mountain somewhere, far away from the maddening crowd.

The rest of the world is nuts except me and you. And then sometimes I wonder about you.

Neighbours can be a pain especially if you have animals and then do not like or understand them.

One set of neighbours made my parents life a misery reporting them to the local council etc etc., all because they keep pigeons.

They complained of flies etc etc, interesting bit when they moved, fly problem seemed to go away I think they may well have been a contributing factor.
