Have you considered using a sling-shot to take it out yet?
Yes, immediately. It's the resistance of that impulse that is causing me difficulties.
People can be hugely inconsiderate sometimes- just lately I've been really wishing that we could afford to live in the middle of nowhere- our neighbours are driving me mad at times. Noise at all hours seems to be the main issue now, but we had the security light problem too a while back- luckily it stopped working after a few weeks and she hasn't bothered to get it fixed.
I have known this pleasure in times past and I recommend it highly. I only wish that I was in a position for my kids to experience some solitude on a daily basis. We are stuck in a rapidly growing town, saddled with a mortgage, so it won't happen anytime soon. I would have to get into their college money and my old(er) years' funds to make a change, right now.
I can't bring myself to do that.
I will grow more plants and hide the fucking offensive light for next year. I call it "defensive gardening."
