Neighbors are odd (okay, I realize that is coming from someone who wants to turn the back yard into a tropical playground.) They used to live out in the country and moved into town to downsize. Having some trouble adjusting to living in a neighborhood, I think. Has a swing set for his grandkids, and asked my kids not to play on it. They have been planting bushes along both sides of their yard to wall off the neighbors. The back line of our two yards are the only cut-through between our neighborhood and the one behind us. Otherwise, kids have to walk about a half-mile down a highway with no sidewalks. He yells at kids he catches sneaking through his yard (we put up a sign telling them to come through our yard). Doesn't drink, never has any gatherings at his house, lights out and in bed by 9:00.

I think my wife is buying me a fence for Christmas.
