original neighbors died or moved out. We were friendly but not friends.

New neighbors to the west are buttheads. They don't talk to me anymore.

I don't care.

Their loss.

Neighbors to the east are behind a shrub fence. We nod in passing. We put their dog
back in their yard when it escapes.

Not friends but friendly enough.

I'm getting crotchety in my late years.
