I have neighbors on the right of me who like to party a lot. Weekends get a little loud. As they arrive home from closing the bars down, they blast their music, stand in the drive-way and carry on filthy discussions with not a sentence that doesn't include the "F" word, and drink beer and smoke pot, which you can smell if you laeve your windows up. Well, last Saturday night, they came home at 2:30, and sat in the car in the drive-way blasting the stereo so loud that the neighbor ACROSS the street came over to talk to them! He said, "Do you know how many children in this neighborhood are sleeping right now?" They were so drunk that it couldn't even be understood what they responded. So then, he said, "None of them, because you woke them up with your loud music!" They said a few choice things back at him as he walked back to his house, but turned the music off. So today, the father of these people were at the house doing some yard work with them. The wife of the guy that walked over that night came over to talk with the father about what is going on. The father lashed out against the woman, telling her to go back to her house and leave his daughter alone! Can you believe it? So, I went over to talk to the wife, who was upset. Then we got together with a couple of other neighbors in front of their house and discussed our options. It's been decided that we are going to collectively take our neighborhood back, one step at a time. But after looking into it, we all decided that calling the police is the next step. Heck, we'll call them because of the noise, and when they get there they will find a whole lot of other stuff going on! We'll have to see. The nerve of some people!
