Here’s an amazing little news item. Go read what Chasing the Wind has to say about it.

Me, I am just shaking my head in astonishment that people like this neighbor actually exist. That she was successful in court says more about our litgious society than I care to know. Let’s just pretend it never happened ok?

The world is full of rude awakenings
And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
Yet still our human longing vainly clings
To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
–Amy Lowell (from the poem To a Friend)
