In the spring my neighbor, a pleasant fellow, was at his house doing a little work. He said that his family was going to spend a lot more time at the lake this year than in years past and would I mind not parking on any of his property.
The space between the two houses is jointly owned but his is the lions share.
I don't really mind and haven't parked in that space since.
Neither has he.
Their coming out a little more often now than a few months ago but it is too late. The vegetation is two or three feet high in that space and the hill is overgrown. I've been cleaning it up for the last couple of years but have skipped it completely this year.
I don't mind at all. I always got a gift from The Ivy when I did work over there. One year I got it so bad I had to stop going to the gym because my arms were such a mess. Last year I got just a little but it was all on my face.
So what has my neighbor gained? I haven't a clue but it was important to him.
This is not about the Eric Hoffer book but he still might turn up from time to time.
