Life in Lynch Lair at Wildcat Station

[Greg]

I realize I can never live in the city again. Even with only four neighbors, two have found ways to annoy me. The newest neighbor has an old diesel truck that he needs to warm up in his yard for at least fifteen minutes I guess to let the glow plug going. Nothing like a diesel engine rumbling away at 5 in the morning to really enhance the quiet of nature. Fortunately, I think he has switched schedules because I haven't heard him do that in quite some time. I was hearing it every day as I came back from the dog walk.

To put the next problem in perspective, let it be known that I'm against porch lights. Yes, a weird hill to die on, but it is there. I don't know why people leave them on all night. I'm sure it's just to ruin my night vision as I walk by. I am a staunch darkness Stan. Nothing like walking in the quiet looking at the stars overhead. Well, the neighbor in the military industrial complex next door has installed a battery operated LED Flag at the edge of his property. I've been dreading the day it flickers to life. Today, it finally happened and I was not pleased. Best of all it's on a motion detector. I was able to walk by it without being on but on the the way back it kicked on to full brilliance illuminating the entire area. My immediate thought was to cleanse the area with fire but I resisted. As usual, I'm sure I'm the only one who is annoyed by this. Buy my annoyance runs deep. And hot.
