One of the things I like about the neighborhood

is a neighbor got a dog a couple of years ago and the dog barked once in a while.

The neighbor saw me on the street and was apologetic over it and I laughed. It was a complete non issue to me. 

I replied, "Tell you what, I won't complain about your dog barking if you won't complain about me cranking off a half dozen crater charges on the Fourth of July."

She laughed and agreed and that was that.
