Our newest neighbors across the way like to have late night drunken parties, yelling and hooting and hollering. One time they took to climbing up on our balcony to "save" our cat who likes to walk around on the roof exploring. Kit let them go for a bit and then shook the treat bag. Kitteh "rescued himself" in less than a minute.

The people on the backside of the building have a small child who spends the morning screeching at the top of her voice while banging on the side of the building with what seems to sound much like a 2x4 board. It went on for weeks till I opened up the bathroom window and yelled "shut up!". It's been quieter in the mornings now. Either that or I'm just sleeping through it better.

Out by our unattached garage, there is a woman who got drunk and yelled out the window at Kitsune. Interesting conversation actually. She started off insulting Kit and then it turned into her wanting to have sex for $$. (the woman, not Kit ) Then I walked out to the garage and told the woman to "shut the &*ll up". Not a peep after that.

We are moving in July to a nice brick triplex in a residential neighborhood with a large maple out front, cedar in the back and a creek at the back edge of the property with a paved bike/walking path winding through the woods on the other side of it. The bike path follows the creek the whole way over to the next town and stops just short of our favorite breakfast diner. Oh yeah. The neighborhood seems quiet and I've already checked the local police neighborhood map. Our current place - bright red. The new place - light yellow. That's a good thing.
