Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

About six months ago, we got new neighbors. They are in their 30’s and like to sit outside, smoke, make a fire, and drink beer. We are old and go to bed early. Our bedroom is right across the lawn from their back door. They don’t use the front door of their house. As a matter of fact, we seldom use our front door except for UPS, and Jehovah Nitwits. Anyway, being old musicians, we are a bit more flexible than other people. The solution came me, and Bill and I put up a latticed fence in the problem area. Much to our delight, they thought it was a good idea too. Now neither one of us will have to encounter each other (unless we want to), and I won’t be looking at their garbage cans and Tiki Torches. Good fences make good neighbors.
