   Some people just have nothing better to do than to complain.

   My parents had a neighbor like that until we had our property surveyed and found out that our property line went down the middle of his driveway and through part of his barn. All of a sudden he became a good neighbor.

   It happens to everyone.  Nothing you can do about it.  Wish them peace and go on your way. 

   It's happened to me and thoughts of revenge and anger eat me up if I let them.

   I can't believe people can't get along with their neighbors. Sheesh.

   Hard to believe they use police for something like that. No BI or codes enforcement official down there?

   Or is this like Mayberry RFD, where the cops do everything right down to delivering a bag of groceries to Aunt Ida in bad weather?

   ;)

   Definitely Mayberry!  Actually, my clients exact phone words were, "Forrest, Mandy's over here . .  ."

   What kind of name is that for a cop?

   Forrest - "and you came and you gave, without taking, and I sent you away, Oh Mandy . . ."

   I didn't mean to knock it. I was copping in a small town, but they did divide the labour to let the dog catcher catch the dowgs, the BI caught the code infractions and the cops caught the tourists speeding through the school zone.

   I'm going over there to work now - painting the doors, removing the last bit of roof under there, and cutting into the room.

   around here code enforcer are law officers and will call police and have you arrested. Only government has guns to take your money.
