    (((Blueberry))) Boy, that sounds like fun. Not. Maybe they need visual cues. Like "Please take off your shoes" and "Please lock the door" signs where appropriate. Some people just can't do without visual prompts. I have lots of PDFs for signs like that and will happily share. Good luck with the house.

    Dear neighbor,

    It's good that you like to keep your driveway looking nice. But it is really not necessary to use your two-stroke leaf blower to blow each leaf off the second it falls from the tree. And even if it were, it shouldn't take more than a few seconds per leaf.

    Oh gawd, I had a neighbor like that. He'd chase one leaf around his yard. I feel your pain OakLeaf.

    I'm late here - been away for much of the week but PAX I have to say I am so sorry about your friend. Always horrible to hear of a fellow motorcyclist (or cyclist) falling victim to an inattentive driver.

    Thank you. It really gave me pause, I was in the middle of shopping for a new bike and it sorta stopped me in my tracks.

    Did a lot of thinking and realized I can't give up something I love this much, so I went ahead and got the new bike.

    Do what you love and never let anyone scare you into giving it up!
