He dribbles! He shoots! He drives me insane!

The kid next door has discovered basketball, and I have discovered an exquisite torture.

    Come on...

    I also live in the Philly Burbs...

    We live on a nice circle with 2 basketball nets in close proximity to our house... I can hear the tweens playing basketball for a couple hours a night during the summer - it can get a little old, but I've learned to tune it out...

    This aversion to other people and their noise is getting unhealthy in our society - everyone wants to live in a bubble and pretend others don't exist. This is why people are so selfish and snobby.

    My answer? Live and let live - who knows what you do to annoy your neighbors?
