It's fall, of course, so that means leaves everywhere. My 84 year old neighbor lady uses a yard service to, among other things, take care of that. So, today, they showed up with their leaf blowers and cleared her yard and driveway. They blew it all into the street, which is bad enough, but so that all of those leaves were not left in front of her house, they blew them a bit down the road - and left them at the end of my driveway. And drove off.

I'm a bit too stoved up right now (hip surgery three weeks ago) to have made it down my stairs, to the front door, down the stairs to my driveway, and down my driveway before before it was becoming obvious they were just going to leave them there.

My wife told me to talk to her, get their number, and give them a call. Nope. Not happening. I'm not like that. Instead, I'll be here next Tuesday, a little more mobile. She is the last house on our dead end, and they park their truck across the street from her, nose-in to a barricade at the end of the street. My plan (if I can drive by then) is to wait for them to finish, get in their truck to leave, then back my Land Cruiser down my driveway and park them in. I will then demand they call the company owner, telling them I will not move until he comes out personally.

We will resolve this politely, very explicitly, at that time.
