Dear neighbor

No idea if this is real, but I found it amusing.

Tale of a floodlight

Lovely writing, but a neighbor-to-neighbor talk would have been a nice first step.

Somewhere in the process, I might personally have debated the merits of using a Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock.  

I had a neighbor in Texas who was a nice buy, but he had two rat terriers in the back yard.  From the moment I stepped out the back door in my yard (separated by a fence) to the moment I went back in the house, they barked at me.  For about 10 years.  I spoke to him about it, and his response was "they're just protecting their territory."

More than once, I debated resuming my archery hobby, but it wasn't really the dogs' fault.  I also considered buying bark collars for both of them, but I was reluctant to spend a couple hundred dollars and also was fairly sure he wouldn't have used them if offered.

And somehow it didn't occur to you to set up a rig and jam at high volume at the dogs/owner whenever they were in the yard to drive the point accross?   ... Fair enough, I considered the same thing (I am also into archery) with the family of racoons that live in the neighbor's rear addition/mud room (on their 4th generation now; it's gross).

when i lived in apts. my crazy ass redneck neighbors were having a party. i pushed my amp up to the dividing wall between apartments. then i leaned my bass pickups facing the wall. after some fiddling i got a nice, continuous earth shaking feedback going. then i left. i came back about an hour later and the neighbors were quite and my rig was still humming along. maybe i found that secret 'put drunks to sleep' frequency.

LOL.  The Australian guy was hilarious.  Whether true or just comedy, this was good.

That was before I got back into music - no amp or bass - and it was in a neighborhood where I could have pi**ed off neighbors in a circle around his house.

I just realized this is the 27bslash6 guy. Same guy of the famous spider correspondence. Good for laughs. He has a vivid imagination, and it's possible that his neighbor put in a floodlight, but I'm guessing the correspondence is imaginary.
