One of the pleasures of living in a house as opposed to in an apartment is that one is reminded that neighbors can be idiots no matter what one's chosen mode of housing. On one side, we have a couple who are both employed in junior roles at a certain prestigious university. They asked one of their landscape contractors to dump a huge pile of soil at the top of a small hill near our property line and then proceeded to re-route the water from their garage gutters over said pile. Lo and behold, a mudslide landed on our driveway during the next heavy rain.
When trying to comprehend the unbridled stupidity that would lead to such actions, I then remembered that I already knew how these people could be so stupid. One of the first things our neighbors had announced about themselves is that they graduated from Harvard.
