Neighbors...

[Armistead]

Do have one great neighbor, across the street. The couple is from Laos. The man is much older than the wife, he's 64, she's appears 40ish. He's very traditional. Anytime he walks around the block, she follows several paces behind. If he stops and talks, she stops paces behind. She barely speaks english, just gives a lil bow, but boy can she cook. She's always bringing food over here, all in traditional wood bowls.

They do make some of the best spring rolls.

My neighbour is a young bachelor who goes camping a lot.

I look after his property when he's away and he looks after the maintenance of the extremeties of our properties (fencing etc) in return.

On the other hand, I must be the greatest neighbour.

When I was living in Omaha, my apartment complex consisted of six unit sections each section with its separate entrance. The layout was three floors of two apartments. Mine was number 5 on the top floor.

My neighbours in unit 6 asked the landlady if there were any vacancies (some friends were moving in the area. My land lady said no.

"But the apartment next to us is empty (number 5)."

"No it isn't, [platapus] has been living there for over five years"

"Really, we never see or hear him!"

It helped that most of the time I was working shift work, but mostly it was because I am a considerate neighbour. If I ever had to move back to apartments again, I want me as a neighbour.
