Good Fences Make...


This is what happens when you build a fence in loose soil. The city tore up the fence line in our backyard to fix a sewer main and promised to come back and ameliorate the mess they caused. Apparently the city did not move fast enough for our neighbors, and the fence was back up in a matter of days. You can see that after the rains a couple of the posts sunk almost a foot (sock monkey added for your scaling convenience). It is my theory that our neighbors are ardent nudists, and have expediently constructed this block to avoid inconvenient lawsuits. I can't say that I've aggressively pursued a confirmation of this theory, but since our neighbors are in the AARP demographic, I consider this mystery a welcome boon to my continued breakfast appetite.

Sock Monkey's expression seems to confirm your suspicions. He looks like he saw something and is now experiencing moral outrage.

Now I was thinking that Sock Monkey looked really happy to be outside. So maybe he likes that sort of thing.
