Those dogs are just fearless...

I've learned that you've got some amount of time to purchase enough property to create a buffer, otherwise assume that the suburb will move out to you.. It may take a decade or two, but it's coming.

Fence it in. Put in a gate. Install big dogs. That ends any confrontation with a neighbor that doesn't have your phone number or a good relationship with the dogs.

Stew,
FYI: I drive a hybrid. The Prius is a better hybrid than mine. I really hate mine, but I got a great deal on it, and as I drive 30k miles per year, it makes financial sense. It's less expensive to drive than a motorcycle. It does steal a little part of my soul each time I drive it, so perhaps long term use is bad.

I hope my attitude doesn't offend ya...

Sorry your neighbor isn't reasonable.

I'd rather that he say something that get upset about it and behave passive-aggressively. The fact is that he told you what was bothering him. You told him that you weren't going to change your behavior. Although there was no compromise, everyone got their point across and there isn't any miscommunication.

What did he say when you pointed out the source of the leaves?
