well I think that's everybody these are
my thank-you notes it's important to
thank people for nice things they do my
dad taught me that even though he didn't
know it
he always grumbled and complained about
everything everything was a big
production even going to the grocery
store and the way he drove that cart
just like his car watch it move out of
the way hey try to cut me off he drive
people right into the frozen food
section one other thing I did at the
grocery store is he bought groceries
well they weren't for us and I couldn't
figure out what it was all about then on
the way home he would drop these extra
groceries off at a neighbor's house you
know the guy who was out of work that's
what he do they taught me about being
nice and about being giving and that's a
pretty cool thing my dad was really cool
in a lot of ways although I never told
him that it's hard to tell you that hey
dad you're cool hmm try it my work
winters seemed to last forever in Cedar
Knoll Wisconsin and the longer they went
on the shorter everyone's tempers became
my the time spring finally arrived cabin
fever had long since mutated into cabin
warfare and it was time for the annual
neighborhood whew what a cruel world
anything could set off a neighborhood
few a newspaper delivered to the wrong
house a broken lawn sprinkler or even
the arrival of new next-door neighbors
so the Jensens moved in next door on a
Thursday and the following Sunday all
our neighbors armed with tuna delight
cucumber salad bread pudding paraded
into our backyard potluck suppers were
my mom's passion in life every single
neighborhood event warranted as a
lifetime window monitor mom had the
inside scoop on all the neighbors
[Music]
they're real poor impoverished destitute
well they don't have to bring anything
you just tell him to come oh look the
Barker's their grandmother lives with
them she's 102 head her birthday
I shared my own neighborhood secrets
with Scott Jensen all right this is the
best treat for climbing if you want to
spine the Henderson meanwhile in the
backyard dad shared a little of his own
warm and cuddly hot Wow handsome your
look for paths in the woods actually
pathology is the study of post-mortem
corpses in a crude sort of way you are
correct
good you watch these for a minute sure
hey you didn't come right from work no
well there's three bowls on the table
more in the oven and the rest are in the
garage
the name is a wacko Andy be nice
everybody has a hobby
oh you think you'd like some sweet
potato so I understand you're a
vegetarian was that he's dead bodies now
so you catch Bible last night - nah I
don't like him what well I just don't
think he's funny and just like that
another neighborhood feud was born well
if you really want to know I prefer
Milton that's why it's unbelievable my
next-door neighbor like smell everyone
well at least he's using jokes from this
century
not all good jokes American jobs don't
prance around in our dressing hey Dan

your Scott burger charge yeah why don't
we all have something to eat Snickers
just digging for bones mr. Allison
and my ad actually I didn't want to
bring this up but that section of the
yard right there are you talking about
who mows the lawn who ranked salon who
manicures this dog I do
who asked you I saw the property man
when I bought the house it clearly shows
that my property extends all the way to
that tree maybe we should call it a day
[Music]
those mortar blasts must have the rain
refused to let out it just got stronger
and stronger and so did the feud hey Lou
no concern with the enemy but done look
at that and Jensen Derek it's moving his
house closet and keep my eye on here
Mike oh yeah dad I'm sure he gets off in
the middle of the night sneaks outside

house six inches closer by Christmas

school on a rainy day of course dad
didn't seem to mind the rain he was too
busy recreating the Great Wall of China
in our backyard I'm securing the
perimeter make our lands safe we're
god-fearing Americans and keep that
pathologist

Kansas where they know that they mess
with me one more time that's great dad

was hoping you could give me a ride to
school maybe you didn't notice but it's
raining no what do you mean this
humidity this isn't rain I was in the
South Seas for monsoon I slept other
kings in Hawaii I'm vacationing in Linus
during the wet season I bet this is
being collected like the plague the
neighborhood feud spread all the way for
the elementary school what's so funny
dad really put up a ten-foot brick wall
around his yard to keep a little dog out
don't think you were all laughing about
oh we weren't really laughing for that
it's more chuck like this you know my
dad wasn't out to build down woof your
dumb dog didn't keep digging up our lawn

state of emergency was declared and we

dog out of the yard no I know exactly
when I was done when I built that wall
Graeme core engineer taught me all Maori
directive water the same principle I use

Guard right now I bet they want you to
teach the troops how to build anti-flood
