I read a bit of a complaint I was filing in Superior Court this afternoon. A couple started a lawsuit against their neighbor over the Laurel Hedge on their property line and how it was trimmed too short. So much money, so much time, so many attorneys, so much bullshit.

Leave the money-grubbing attorneys out of it and settle that shit out of court with little hard work and a little tough love. 

Howdy neighbor.
