[footfootfoot]

As I've mentioned before we live in a very small village, I've lived in smaller hamlets but this is deceptively small. It's most noticeable when something small changes. For instance last week I noticed that my neighbor's light was on for several nights after 11:00pm. This never happens, so I asked them what was up, they had a visitor. No big deal, it's just funny that I realized I am aware of their schedule without consciously thinking about it. We all tend to notice when something isn't the same.

So last night at about half past midnight I hear this distant barking dog (we have a few of them) and all of a sudden I hear this man's voice yelling "Would you shut that fucking dog up?!"

I knew I didn't recognize the voice, but it was clearly coming form one of my neighbor's houses. I guessed it was the "new neighbors" whom I haven't met because they are only here on weekends from, are you ready for this? The City.

I wonder if I should send them a memo letting them know that everyone in this town is related to, married to, or works for everyone else. They won't get far shrieking the F bomb at midnight.

Cracked me up, though.
