Subject: Neighbors
The golden rule in Howard County is to love your neighbor --
he may well have just the tools or equipment you need.
A couple near me has quite a rocky marriage.
They're trying to make it work though, for the sake of the horses.
Something I've always found odd, if your neighbor's problems aren't worse
than yours,
his kids are.
You can always tell when it's Fall. Neighbors return clippers, lawn mowers & trimmers in order to borrow rakes & leaf blowers.
My neighborhood, Glenelg, is pretty small. We don't even have a sanitation department.
A cleaning woman comes in twice a week.
We hold neighborhood parties often. When it's our turn to host, Mrs JimJr, ever the housekeeper, even puts in fresh light bulbs.
About the only thing worse than a neighbor with an old beat-up car
is a neighbor who gets a new one every year.
A group of neighbors in a Columbia Maryland village petitioned the County for a traffic light.
The County hasn't installed it yet though -- the neighbors can't agree on the colors.
Most of the time husband-wife arguments bother neighbors, but other times, they're entertaining. Angry at being locked out of the house a husband yelled, "I had you before we were married."
From inside, equally loud, came a retort, "Big damn deal. So did all of your friends."
