Hippie neighbors

Not in the classic tie-die sense but more modern day...Came home from a long weekend to find rice all up and down our shared driveway. Asked and was told - "we had a feng shui house blessing ceremony..." Okaaaaay.... well how about pulling all those weeds out of your front yard so they stop blowing into ours...and sweep up the rice. Birds eat it and it kills them. How's that for feng shui?

Rice does not hurt birds. That is just a urban myth.

Weed is the neighbors yard are a pain.

Birds have better pickings in my yard anyway - couple of feeders with sunflower seeds... But yes, weeds are a nuisance. I might add this is a rather nice neighborhood - houses run in the 7-800's...and yes, how'd you guess? - he's a stoner.

First it's rice, but next thing you know it's a large cactus.

Weed's legal here....they're okay neighbors in other respects. Spoiled 3 y.o. Twins that endlessly squall, but at least they're not greasers always working on cars...no, wait...

I think they were pulling your leg. Obviously, it was a fong shway driveway blessing ceremony.

That's true! my truck would leak oil everywhere and if you got pissed I'd tell you where you could stick it.
