goodbye neighborhood

This morning, about 6:00, I was awakened by people talking very loudly. A group were grousing about something and one person's voice rose above the others, just repeating, "What goes around comes around."

Was this the final wisdom I was to glean from this neighborhood?

And then, at 7:00 this morning, and still going at it 20 minutes later, a man is edging and weed-whacking outside the only window that I can open. The is the first time I've EVER had neighborhood noise to deal with.

And so the neighborhood wishes me farewell.
