New Trashy Lawn Service Neighbors



The new neighbors moved in a few months ago and everything seemed great at first.  They were a couple of guys operating a lawn service out of their home, except it was not their home.  It was simply their business.  Even then, that seemed reasonable enough.

Since that time, one of the partners has been driving all over the wrong side of road and into my yard, turning out wide is his massive Tacoma semi-truck.  It rutted out the yard, turning it into a bit of a swamp.

I stopped in one afternoon to give his partner a hint, asking if he had any suggestion on how to safely keep people on the road.  This is the only place in the entire city where folks seem to have difficulty staying on the street.  He had no clue.

The latest adventures have them piling up debris just about everywhere along the frontage and behind the house, essentially just trashing things.

As well, burning debris they bring back from their jobs is almost daily and includes trash, fencing, and other materials unsuitable for the breathing environment.

Calling the city about this last point, they said to call the fire department.  In response to the rest of the points, they are sending someone by today to take a look at all the debris piled around that house and the general state of affairs.

I don't want to be the "Get off my Lawn!" guy, but this is turning me that way.  

It is not that hard to be a good neighbor.

First Excel Copilot



The first thing I thought to use Copilot for in Excel, it proved useless.  After first telling me that it only worked with files saved in OneDrive, it then told me it only works with tables.  

I only wanted it to combine two tabs and it is already more work than I set out to do.

The Grudge Continues


Just tried to ask Crazy Indian Lady a simple question about whether someone was here or not.  She flatly ignored me.  

It has been a year.

Talk about your grudge.
