Transcript:
Alice: We've got a lawn gnome! Boy: Is that allowed? Beni: The neighborhood rules say you can have up to two man-made lawn objects. We've got a burro with a cart. They count as two. Girl: We've got a whirligig and a frog under a mushroom. And a daisy doormat that's awaiting adjudication. Boy: We've got a "squirrel crossing" sign and a cherub fountain birdbath that scares away all the squirrels. Dill: We've got a pet cemetery, various dirtbike parts, a clothes dryer, a carpet sample display and my brother's newest trebuchet. Alice: Didn't the neighborhood rules guy with the clipboard complain? Dill: He tried to. He came down in the next county, but his clipboard has never been found.

A trebuchet is much like a catapult, with a weighted arm mechanism. Does Jpuzzlewhiz really need help with this?

No, those are wild tombstones that they leave food out for.

Thank you, Dill’s brothers! The notion of affordable tract housing is nothing new, but in older subdivisions, the houses and properties take on their own personality over the course of time and the community eventually develops character. But with many new subdivisions, the CC&Rs restrict what can happen in the front yard, what colors can be painted, etc., ensuring that the community will always look homogenous and boring. Absolutely ridiculous. Another reason that the old saying is true: suburban is to urban as substandard is to standard.

Or they could just keep the range and trebuchet as their two front yard items, and move everything else to the back yard. Would that make the guy with the clipboard happy?

Dill said that he came down in the next county…….nothing was said about being ‘alive’!
