Sorry, Harry. I must've used too many big words. Your neighbor's muffler

has
nothing to do with boats. What do you personally do in the muffler
situation? Be very specific.s


I didn't know that Harry Krause was in on this thread?

Yes, Harry. Tell us what you would do. That should be interesting.


Stop being childish. You know that was a typo. What would YOU do in the
aforementioned muffler situation?


Let's just say what I wouldn't do okay? I wouldn't do anything to escalate
the situation. And I wouldnt do anything illegal or immoral. I wouldn't hate
my neighbor over it. I wouldn't overly dwell on it. I wouldn't still seeth
over it months or years later in a newsgroup. I wouldn't nag them over it.

OTOH if I saw that same neighbor broken down needing help on the side
of the road I would do it. No matter how much sleep that I lost or how
much they bothered me. I would help that person.

I spent part of my life thinking and acting like you do and then I wised up
Dougie. Life is too short to be seeing the glass half-full all of the time.

Spread random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
