[Saint Phlip]

Yeah, I understand. My roommates moved out here, into an area zoned
"rural" in CT. He was in the Navy, and she couldn't mow the lawn-
physical problems- so he fenced the place while he was home, and they
got themselves a small flock of sheep, to keep things eaten down. The
yuppie neighbor complained (and complained and complained) until the
went to court- at which point said neighbor discovered that he'd moved
into the bountry, and the judge wanted to know what the Hel his
problem was?

This is the same neighbor, btw, who put out poison for varmints, and
wound up poisoning a couple of their pets, who had caught eaten the
poisoned critters. I just wish we could have proved it...

Remijds me, it's time to get another flock of Guineas. The roosters
don't make enough noise...
