I think you are, too -- it's kind of hard not to be. Who do <i>you</i> think would have long chats with just about anybody on the street, no matter what they were doing?<br /><br />But, yeah, some of three-letter's activities are a little annoying, but not tremendously. The stuff that causes the worst problems with that drain is the material that the next guy down from three-letter uses for his driveway. It's loose, lightweight, and tends to wash down the drain and get clogged <i>under our house</i> in really heavy rains, about one year in five so far.<br /><br />I'd still rather deal with this than snow.

To add insult to injury, it's his fault the drain was clogged to begin with...many people are already irritated that he blows all the tree debris ("duff") off his driveway and leaves it in the street to be "swept" to the side by the traffic. All that duff then washes into the storm drain and that's what clogged it. Glad to know it's not just me he's a jerk to, but sorry you had to deal with him!hpjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519804707579466907.post-61960822320567280382010-01-22T00:43:43.666-08:002010-01-22T00:43:43.666-08:00Update: The next two days brought more nasty clog...Update: The next two days brought more nasty cloggings and waterfallings.

Five <i>feet</i> of rain over the winter, and then that dry spell that brings the fire risk. Sheesh.<br /><br />I love a nice neighbor who sees a clogged drain <i>that could be flooding your house for all he knows</i> and does nothing about it, but who comes and hangs out with you while you do the work. In a neighborly kind of fashion.
