  • This week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner with guest co-host @BYUfan is all done and recorded. Out later in the week as usual. :-) 05:51:47
  • Just got yelled at by neighbor 4 talking at a normal volume in our driveway while setting up telescope Alex asked to use. That was fun. 06:20:17
  • No screaming or loud music I understand, but just a conversation in front of our house? Really? Bah humbug. Makes me want to be louder. 06:24:56
  • We won’t be of course. But we did finish, and Alex got to look at the moon through the telescope as he had requested. 06:26:37
  • Will never get used to fact so much of this neighborhood is trying to sleep even at 10 when it is barely dark. I understand it is normal… 06:29:07
  • But it is very odd to me. Alex (3 yr) and I are often walking the dog around 11 PM. Whole family generally only starts winding down near 12. 06:31:34
  • I know that makes US the oddballs but still. We were only talking. Not yelling. Not making racket. Suppose we should have been whispering. 06:34:07
  • So should we be leaving a note apologizing for disturbing them? Even though we think they we being kind of unreasonable? 06:39:10
  • Or should we ignore it (not the first time we have bumped heads with them, maybe every 6 mo) letting the beginnings of a family feud fester? 06:40:58
  • I do acknowledge the possibility that we were louder than we thought we were. We spoke normally, but our normal voices not quite subdued. :) 06:42:17
  • And it WAS 11:15 PM or so, which while still prime time for us, I realize is late for some others. Presumably including these neighbors. 06:45:30
  • I should add that when they yelled out window for us to shut up, Brandy’s response was not exactly polite either. :-). So Twitter, thoughts? 06:49:10
  • upstart from our macaron light us had by where that navalnys may for in and son the salsa royal be 07:38:44
  • RT @imbou: @abulsme just let it go, it's like you don't have nice neighbors, they could have been polite to you. 17:05:37
  • .@imbou Lot it go like apologize? Or let it go like ignore. (Wasn't planning on intentionally aggravating them. :-) ) in reply to imbou 17:06:22
  • .@imbou For the record, I wanted to leave a conciliatory note and make nice with them, but was overruled by the two women in the house. in reply to imbou 17:07:27
  • .@imbou I also had completely forgotten about the whole thing by the time I woke up, until I saw your tweet. :-) in reply to imbou 17:09:31
