I've got family members that are almost that obnoxious. My wife had a Nazi uncle with all kinds of collectibles on display.. FORTUNATELY, he passed into the Great Reich beyond shortly after we were married. Watch "American History X". (one of my favs) It's brutal in places, but it'll help you "communicate"..
In California, we were 6 ft from either neighbor, with a lava rock front yard. So the view is something I searched for all over this country -- for two years before finding this spot.

This is what we settled for, picked up the land (4.47 acres) about 25 years back, built the house in '89. Just had all the black pines in front and on the right cut down, going to rent a stump grinder when it is cooler. Red line is the property boundery on the right, white line is where we have already planted eight Nroway Spruce, plan to get ten more to replace the black pines.
Front to back the land drops fifty feet to the trees, house is 70 feet above the 100 year flood plain. We have a few hundred $$$ in black walnut back there.

What beautiful homes! I can sit in my little wooded backyard and pretend I'm in nature, until I hear a semi with a bad tire on the turnpike 3 miles away or a big factory somewhere behind me fires up some sort of giant turbine...
At least I don't have aryans to worry about. But even here in the mostly educated mostly integrated suburban outback you do hear a slur or two occasionally.

Let's just all move to Lake Wobegone, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.
Regards,

The part about the walnuts is that the squirrels bury them in the garden or other wrong places and they grow. I wanted a couple on the slope, planted them and nothing happened.
You would not like Maryland, place is full of Democrats.
At least you can eat hickory nuts, black walnuts have this thick shell that is really messy. I swear it is where the Pilgrims got their brown dye.

Not so, Rob. You look very impotent and extinguished.
