least he doen't call the cops on you when you have your carpets cleaned!

Another neighbor of ours tried removing some shrubs by attempting to pull them out with his pick-up. After several attempts of snapped rope he finaly did it but he also pulled out some sprinkler line that the roots had grown around. He had a fountain for 4 hours - our leeward side of the lawn was swampland for 2 days.

Our Son and I were watching this entire thing unfold. At one point our Son said "Dad, didn't he try the same thing a few years ago with a tree stump and nearly killed himself? Whadda say we grab some shovels and help out Mr George do it right?"

"Na, there is no way it ever ends good with him and the further away we position ourselves the safer we will be."

He looked me dead in the eye and said "true dat..."
