It's nice. But I'm in this weird place now, post-failures, where I can't afford to live here, can't afford to sell, and can't refinance.

Dickwad back there puts in a pool - they use it once per year. Buys a trampoline because the kids two doors down have one - his kids use it once, never again. Removes his perfectly fine deck and replaces it with a permanent concrete patio - they never sit out on it.

And how many of your neighbors are in the same situation?

Grapes anyone?

Yeah I've got this guy whose back yard lines up with mine. He says he's a philanthropist/art collector/ whatever, but he's too busy to mow his grass. Last year he bought a rider mower which is great only that he cut the grass twice the whole year, driving the thing at 45 mpr-had it up on the back wheels one time. Now he's got these grape vines all over, I mean it's like a horror movie-they're into everything, including my black walnut tree. He's never home, probably out scouting the next crystal ashtray, so anyways I'm out there with anything I can to pull that vine off my trees. Now who's the nut?
