I hadn't wanted to go here.    but,  this,   it somehow could not be better.    Without going on,   there are odd neighbors along Carefree Way.   i've talked some about neighbor Dave who turned away when i was struggling with those pit bulls and their attack of Sunny Ray.   and there is Mike,  just down and across the road who is building a house but not living there yet and then there's the other ones.    It's these Other Ones.   Sometime in the early summer this Trump sign appeared.   Our hearts pounded.  WHAT???????    it's on the other side of the entrance off Old Olive,  the Rooster Swamp,  which tho across CareFree,  belongs to this piece of property.   At first we were going to just TAKE IT DOWN.   Our urge was to smash it to be honest.   But being who we are,  we looked and sure enough,  it was on the edge of the road..Old Olive…just off private land   and we also found out that even there,  it was not legal outside of some short time close to an election cycle and the local road people could remove it and i tried to find which local road people they were and got no where so we just got quiet within ourselves.   Many initial thoughts of putting up some sign of our own on the opposite side but that seemed ignorant.   I met a couple different people associated with those neighbors,  her niece  and her father as they were driving by and  waved them down….asking them about the sign and yes it is Julie's sign and  I was very clear about how disturbing it was to us and how actually,  not legal.   They listened.   Drove on.  And i can say,   in the beginning,  i drove all over this area and this is the ONLY political sign anywhere.   I suppose as we near the election there might be more?     We have few interactions with them….recently one over them taking  gravel from the pile Jenny bought and using it to fill the Rain damage of the common road …Julie's husband being actually there with a shovel when Jenny arrived in the morning…Jenny confronting him and him saying he didn't know it belonged to her

there's more to the story but i don't want to waste energy going there…is of no use    BUT i cannot say the great

JOY
