Coyotes and wolves are cowards and it'd really be rare for either to be aggressive (unless they have the backup of a pack.) There's only one form of wildlife that anyone should be scared of and it's them damn wild pigs.
Back when my subdivision was built, there wasn't much here. Potomac Mills was still a junkyard, though I understand the shopping center with the Safeway has been there since 1973.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Thankfully, feral pigs aren't nearly as common here as they are in, say, southeastern Georgia.
Lazuli: Heh, that's pretty funny. Yet at the same time, my inner biology student is very concerned.

Sometimes I feel weird saying I'd rather live in an urban area. Feels like I'm insulting all the people who live in the impoverished inner-city or something. :\
^ There's a certain attitude to it that I can't quite describe...but, like, you get people complaining to the Homeowner's Association about small cosmetic details of other people's houses and stuff. It's that kind of suburb.
Before he moved, our next door neighbor to the left of us was insufferable. He was constantly complaining about "the state of our yard", repeatedly called us white trash, threatened to sue us if we didn't cut down our tree because it was "invading his property" (he was strangely silent when that flatwind brought it down on our house last year) complained to the police dozens of times because we were "being too noisy" (we're a fucking family of six) and got us slapped with several fines for disturbing the peace, and lastly, tried to sue us for parking in the handicap spot in front of our house. A spot that is legally our property.

Goodness. I do not live in that kind of suburb. I can already tell this is a very good thing.
Though I don't understand how a house can officially have a handicap space. I have a sneaking suspicion that it was something this guy completely invented in his head.
No, there's a handicap sign painted onto the road, but, it was put there by the previous owner of the house (one Mr. Lewis) who was, in fact, handicapped. The space itself is not legally binding like public ones are.
Also I should point out that this guy gave similar shit to everyone, even his own cousin (one Dan Brown, no relation to the author) who also lives near us can't stand the guy.

I once had a neighbor who insisted that I not get grass clippings in the flowerbed he'd built...even though said flowerbed was quite clearly over the line into our yard. I ignored him, of course, but one day he saw the grass clippings there and screamed that I was a retard...at which point I ran into his house and started beating the shit out of him. He didn't bother us after that.
(Hey, never said I made good decisions as a teenager.)

^^ Because I find the whole incident hilarious, in retrospect.

Super Lazuli, I can only hope that I end up with a neighbor like that. For a busy family of six I could see him being a problem but for a bored single former Marine like me, he'd be an endless source of entertainment.
I really don't want to live in a place with a HOA.
It's like having an abusive police force that deals with messy lawns instead of criminals.
Our local HOA (The Keep Carbon Beautiful Authority, and yes that is what it's called) has sent us citations dozens of times because our grass is too long.
I should point out that we live on an incline, and that instead of a simple hill, at a certain point said incline drops off into a stone wall with a good two feet between it and the street level. So it's a bit hard to mow.

I know he moved to another state, so hey, maybe it's Texas.

I lived in a Shanghai expatriate suburb for five years. I only had one adjacent neighbor. Most of the people bought property there for the sake of owning property and thus didn't live there. Most of the families actually living there were Singaporean.
It was quiet, which I hated, but I loved it because I could have a dog.

Our HOA has hilariously started falling apart over the years. When the economy went to shit a few years back, people just stopped paying their dues. So, of course, the HOA started harassing them to pay up.
Well, as it turns out, people who are in danger of foreclosure don't exactly consider HOA dues a huge financial priority. So when the HOA wouldn't relent, people started sending them death threats, and the few people who did pay wrote "FUCK YOU" all over their checks.
So, basically, nobody wanted to be part of the HOA anymore, because who wants to be in charge of that?

Having lived in neighborhoods where I've had to deal with Crips and neighborhoods where I've had to deal with the HOA, I can honestly say that at least with the former, they leave you alone if you leave them alone.

Oh, did I mention that he was a racist fuck who yelled at my parents for "bringing down the property values" by being an interracial couple?

We get those types up here, too.
There's a grand total of one black family in the entire neighborhood and they're harassed constantly. Walked to school one morning to find their lawn littered with Confederate flags. Kinda doubt they bought them.
Some of the kids I used to go to school with were downright scary. I'm talking about people who shout "white power" in the halls, here.

Sounds like a textbook coward whose mouth has written checks his ass can't cover his entire life but somehow managed to get past by until CA set him straight. It's like chicken pox - it's better to experience that as a kid because whenever it happens as an adult it's ten times worse.

To be fair, there doesn't seem to be much overt racism in this neighborhood. That guy was the exception, rather than the rule.
And, now that I think about it, this is a surprisingly diverse neighborhood, for the kind of uppity overpriced place it is.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I don't know why I'm obsessed with Of Monsters And Men. I hear or see one little phrase relating to any of their music, and I'm whistling the day away.

I wish there were businesses within walking distance of my house.
oh god HOA's
if there's anything in this country that needs to be taken down a peg or two it's them painfully annoying homeowner associations

So what I'm saying, CA. Is that I sympathize.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead

I can't say I saw that coming.

Actually the original song is by Raymond Scott, but Dilla and I sampled the same parts of the same track.
Funstuffs. You should get Donuts, though. It's an interesting album and it had a big impact on me as a producer.
It's not even legal to own BB Guns in this neighborhood (regular guns are fine though. Cuz y'know, logic.)Still scared him to death, though.
Well, chances are he doesn't go around calling people rude names anymore.
Also, I don't think we have a local HOA, but nobody in my neighborhood has a lawn.
This is in Arizona, you see.

Daisy'll be an old girl now.
Probably my fault for bringing up the topic in the first place, I apologize.It's honestly kind of funny in a stupid way when you realize that Pennsylvania was on the Union side during the Civil war.
Nobody says anything racist, to my knowledge, but I'm willing to bet that most, if not all of them are Republican.
I know that feel.
In other news, I am still WINNING at Kirby.
Then again I did this with Jars Of Clay.
