Game Over

I just witnessed something monumental occur in our backyard as I was refilling the beer in our slug traps.

It is 10:08 PM and the permanent basketball hoop that my neighbor installed on their 10x12 patio has officially been removed.

This is kind of a big deal in the Schreibman House....

Initially they had a portable hoop on the back patio which is illegal in our neighborhood. They received a notification to remove this from their property. A few weeks later we returned from our anniversary trip to find that they had installed a PERMANENT HOOP on their back patio. I think we almost flipped out.

WHO DOES THIS!?!? In their backyard!?!?

We were those neighbors... we complained. There is no denying it. When you are laying in bed at 10 PM and you hear a bouncing ball next to your bedroom window you are forced to complain.

Now we may enjoy evenings in our backyard and on our patio without the bouncing ball.
Now we may enjoy evenings lying in bed without having to drown out the bouncing ball.

Good ridance patio basketball hoop. May you die a sweet death. On to our next victim.
