...Or chickens and goats, for that matter...

Just to drag this totally off-topic - people seem to think that roosters crow at dawn. This is not true. They crow whenever they are awake. Which is often at 3 in the morning.

I have a .22 with a scope. I have come very near to sitting on the roof with it trained into the neighbors yard...

On the neighborhood rules topic, I live in an older (70's) small subdivision with a new (00's) 10-feet-from-eachother (don't have a problem with these - I hate my yard and it's only a 1/4 acre lot. Grass sucks) literally next door whos rules prevent parking RV's, boats and such. Which means that they end up in front of my house. Pain in the butt - I can see why they want to keep them off the street (it's hard enough to make it by with cars there) but at least allow it in driveways. Silly.
