Nope really not good enough - but all I've got. The woman is obviously checking the air quality...(or she's crazy).

Fresh air. Birds can see more of the spectrum than humans - inside lights and window glass leave them in an Alfred Hitchcock reality. But mainly it's the Vitamins from sunlight. Hey, you asked.

When he gets home from drinking on hot summer nights, he pees in the driveway. We live in one of those rustbelt city neighborhoods where the houses are separated only by the driveways. The screen in our bedroom window is the only thing to buffer the sound. It's like he's pissing in the same room with us. (Oh -- and by the way -- we mow his lawn sometimes. But that's because it would NEVER get mowed otherwise.) And he's our favorite! The neighbor on the other side told us he is sick. My husband asked what was wrong, and the dude just pointed at his head. He constantly asks if he can use our ladder. I don't know what for. We keep saying no. The sick-in-the-head-ladder-craving guy lives in a two-family house and the people who live upstairs from him are Middle Eastern. We saw them the day they moved in. We see the husband all the time, but the wife has never come out of the house -- in two years!! We have another neighbor who noticed a small leafy twig growing out of our chimney. He begged us to call the authorities right away so that we wouldn't die of carbon monoxide poisoning. Before the Middle Eastern couple moved in, there was a chain-smoking 60-something-year-old woman living up there. We called her Leather Face. Once, we were driving through town and saw her lying on the ground propped up against the storefront of the corner bar. We said, "Hey! That was Leather Face passed out on the curb!"

I wish HE had just a bird in a cage!!
