>>The house next to mine is empty. The owner died, and the son's supposedly

>>first
>>moved in, he introduced himself along with a good looking lady he called
>>"his friend", who's there all the time with him, fixing up the house. A
>>month later, he introduced his wife. Smart guy. You think he would've done
>>a
>>bit of prep work with me before introducing the wife. Reminds me of
>>someone
>>I knew years ago who was having an affair. He'd take his goomar out to all
>>sorts of nice restaurants & hotels. He "forgot" that his wife was in
>>charge
>>of paying all the bills, and that all the dinners & hotels were on his
>>American Express card. Duh. :-)

>>Lately, the neighbor's got a new hobby. He stops by 3 times a week to mow
>>the lawn. Half the property is in deep shade, in a spot that most
>>experienced homeowners would recognize as one which needed to have two
>>thirds of the trees taken down. A dozen pine trees growing 8 feet apart,
>>like in an unmanaged forest. There are 3 blades of grass in a 75 x 100
>>foot
>>area, along with lots of smallish rocks & tree roots that stick up from
>>the
>>hard-as-cement soil. He's got the deck of the riding mower set so low that
>>it seems to be actual contact with the ground. It raises so much dust that
>>the guy and his mower are completely invisible at times. The sound of
>>rocks
>>crashing around inside the deck offer a clue as to his location. On the
>>other side of the property, the grass is shorter than cheap outdoor
>>carpet,
>>and turning brown. He told me last week that the problem might be lack of
>>nitrogen. He's out there with a spreader right now. :-)

I work from home. Sometimes, it's weird.
