Hello, my name is Stu. Today my gripe is with new neighbors who don't follow the neighborhood rules. I realize these are not posted rules just common sense rules. Apparently these new neighbors have no common sense.
The first thing they did was install a flood light in their backyard that is adjacent to my backyard. It's not an ordinary flood light it technically belongs on an airport runway. Huge and bright are words I would use to describe the light. This airport light shines directly into my bedroom. I cannot sleep with the blinds open and enjoy the wonderful gulf breeze due to this new airport light installation.
I have thoughts of getting out my B.B. gun. But I wouldn't want to miss the airport floodlight that now keeps me up all night and hit their dog instead. Lets see, if I hit the dog there will be no more barking 24/7. And if I ignore the flood light I may be able to get some sleep. When my dog barks I bring him inside so he does not disturb the neighborhood. He normally only barks for a reason.
Two strikes and these new neighbors are off to a bad start in my book of neighborly etiquette.
Neighborly,
Mr. Pid

Daily Gripe 2008
Hello, my name is Stu. Today my gripe is neighbors with barking dogs. Non-stop - incessant barking dogs to be exact. Like the one right across the street. If only I had a paint ball gun.
His name is Charlie and he's the scoundrel that bit me several years ago. No love loss here. Charlie is psychotic. When Charlie's owner leaves old Charlie jumps up on the couch - right by the open window - directly across from my home and barks and barks.
He barks the entire time his owner is gone. I keep the windows and doors closed to block out the noise - that doesn't always help. I have mentioned on occasion to his owner that he barks. He complains and says he doesn't know what to do with him. He ended up with Charlie by default and is keeping him out of guilt.
I say toss away the guilt and do something with the barking nuisance. Get a trainer - remove his vocal cords or take him with you when you leave the house. That would give the rest of us a little silence break.
Summer is around the corner and I can close up the house tight and turn on the air and some music and not hear old Charlie.
Sincerely,
Mr. Pid
