Our sub division has no signs up save for a Bernie sign that’s been up for over a year. Got my Joe sign and put it up. My next door neighbor who is moving is a Trumpster, he took his kids to the open Michigan protests at the Capital. Decent guy, but glad he’s moving.

Neighbor across the street is a nice older lady with a black lab. Her lab was off leash and charged our Am. Staff terrier and bit her on the shoulder where she had just had surgery for a cancerous tumor. Our dog isn’t friendly with other dogs so she bit the other dog in the throat and did some minor damage that needed stitches. First time we met this lady after living here for 3 years. She was upset her dog got hurt, but knew it was her fault for no leash. Not a great start.

So the day we put our sign up, she comes over very friendly and bubbly. She’s so relieved to see the sign in our neighborhood that she couldn’t contain her joy. Super nice lady I found out is a retired school teacher. Made a new friend.
