Fences

My neighbor is putting up a fence between my property and theirs. Now, it is really not their property, rather it is city property and for the most part, it is the property that I have to look at from the front of my house, but it is merely on the side of their house. This is completely immaterial to the fact that I can't stand the feeling of a fence being put up next to me. I have been sitting here for an hour or so and realised that it was really bothering me.

Why the fence? - To keep dogs off the grass? To protect the precious grass seed? To say " hey keep your natural lawn gardening techniqhues to yourself? Yeah, I refuse to use pesticides to keep the weeds out. I think I find the fence to be downright offensive. It is made worse because it is ugly - an offensive gesture and an ugly presentation. The fence says it a very blantant way - KEEP OFF! as if he yelled it right to my face.

Makes me want to put slugs on the lawn to make the guy crazy...
