Rant follows:

I have tried to be a good neighbor, but in the end - I have concluded that there is no such thing as a "good neighbor".

I have been building fences on "my place" and have managed to pi$$ off every single neighbor, save one (and I haven�t started on his section yet). The bottom line. Folks out in the country don�t want city folks changing anything. Building fences, cutting down trees, surveys and such is grounds for upset neighbors. One neighbor's fence was so bad that when I removed the brush on my side, the fence literally fell down; rotted posts, broke wire, no wire - you name it. They even own cows and still didn�t want a new fence.

You (DD and others) have said this is so and you were right, forget being neighbors. I am city folk - hear my chainsaw roar! I am now the un-neighbor�but I have a new fence. :p
