Let me tell you about our neighbors.

The neighbors to our left are a nice bunch. There are two or three couples living in that house, which has been subdivided as so many older homes are in a university town. One of the couples lived here until recently, so if I have questions about the property, I can get my answers from her. She's been very easy to talk to. She also has a dog, who I think has been mentioned previously.

The neighbors to our right, however, inspired today's title. According to the previous resident, they are either current or former sorority girls who love to party on their front porch and get undressed in front of their bedroom windows. There's at least one smoker in the bunch and, much to my distress, the smoke wafts right into our living room. I haven't turned the hose on them yet, but one stunt pulled today makes me wonder if that needs to be on my neighbor management list.

As with many older towns, the streets are narrow and usually only have parking on one side. We are fortunate enough to have a driveway and usually have no problems coming and going, but one of the lovely sorority sisters decided to park her Jeep Liberty in our driveway, leaving us blocked in. Not only did she park it, but she left the keys in and left it running. I fought down the temptation to move it for her and a good thing, too, as she did finally emerge. She introduced herself and looked for all the world like her hands were empty....like there might be pom-poms missing. After throwing an apology to us over her shoulder, she bounced and perked her way into her Jeep and left, hurrying around a nearby corner, most likely looking for some other unsuspecting driveway in which to park.

Again, I'm leaving the hose as a viable option.
