We are sorta handicapped up here on the ridge because of the woman we bought 
the place from.  Boy, had we only known! <g> Seems her and her son were out 
of control and the kid road his dirt bike all over the place, cut fences and 
generally spent his time annoying people.  She is about 5'8" tall, a big 
woman who stomps through life, knows everything and has no respect for any 
of her neighbors.  We're getting the left overs "Oh (raised eyebrows), you 
bought *xx*'s place" followed by one of those looks.  Guilt by sorta 
association, I guess.

It's an interesting experience.  They are gradually getting to accept us for 
us instead of who lived here before.
