And things are just as bad here.

My wife's knee is bad, and she is avoiding the part of the yard that is adjacent to the trampoline with the killer flying springs.

So she has to go out into the part of the yard that is all ice, and with her bad knee, that is not a good combo.

She takes the dog into the fenced back yard with a leash, because she is convinced that our shitty neighbors are going to throw poison over the fence, and that the dog will get into it.

No response to my email to the Town Supervisor.

And the certified return receipt snail mail letter I sent to the Town Code Enforcement Officer will not get there until tomorrow.

It's been like this for years...the Town reps are too weak to take a stand on virtually everything.

I tell my wife that I will take the dog out, but she insists that it's "her job" to do that.

Thank you for your kind words!
