     @laurelrusswurm @gemelliz I think we get a bye from our neighbours because the former owners used to get drunk and throw beer bottles at the mosque-goers, while their sons had broken into every house in the neighbourhood. We don't do either.

     @scruss
     We were doing that kind of thing in our small town several years ago until a neighbor called the weed police.

     He's long dead now, but I still suffer pesticide sensitivity from unprotected exposure when I pulled it all out to satisfy bylaw— without gloves or any ppe because I didn't realize he had sprayed it with pesticide first.

     In retrospect I think he did it because he spent $ on bird feeders in his neatly manicured yard but we got more birds by letting nature run wild.
