Which Is Possibly A Subset Of TREE LAW
But only perhaps as I don't want to trick you into clicking on this link by mistake, and gosh those people who were setting off fireworks, as well as those owls, seem to have gone quiet of late. It is mid-September after all.
Okay, let us now approach the subject of defining proper and legal boundaries. Art!
Art! How d - O very well we'll let it stand. As the title says, the orcs spend 18 months and an absolute ocean of blood establishing a salient that the Kozaky eliminated in 3. Ooops. Unlike legal debates about borders and boundaries, it took mere months before the truth was revealed, and how bad things are for Mordorvia is judged by how utterly silent they are being about this. You have to understand that Putinpot will not have been informed about the state of affairs on the ground, which illumination will not happen for a couple of weeks, just in case a miracle occurs. Once the cold hard horrid facts are admitted, some hapless minion will be sent into the Kremlin to whisper that things have gone The Opposite Of Good, and will then be commanded to join The Noble And Ancient Muscovite Order Of Window Diving. Art!
The AI Art Generator could not cope with 'Zakharova' so deal with the above.
Art!
AGAIN WITH THE BOUNDARIES!
This is 11 seconds into a Ruffian video posted by one of the surviving orc vehicles in occupied Ukraine, thus beyond the boundaries of sovreignity. No identification of where it is, just that it's a clip lasting 4 minutes, where Your Humble Scribe counted 109 Ruffian wrecks in the space of the clip, and definitely missed some. During the vlog you, the viewer, note that the wrecks have all been moved off the roadway, meaning that the orc commanders are determined to use this route despite however many orcs die in the process. Ol' Tolky would be proud of you, chaps, proud, w
ANYWAY we ought to be concentrating on the interdivisional boundaries between South Canadian neighbours, rather than internecine affairs elsewhere. Art!
If you want to follow Property Line Law, which is closely aligned with Tree Law, then read no further. Art!
Only joking.
ANYWAY the Youtube-derived title for this tale refers to a tale told by Closely Aligned Neighbour*, hereafter CAN, who posted their tale on Reddit. They had but recently moved into a house that had a very narrow median strip between theirs and the neighbouring house. SO! They wanted privacy and to prevent said neighbour, whom we shall call Entitled Neighbour Termagant, ENT hereafter, from being able to look into their kitchen, for who doesn't want privacy when shelling peas at 2 a.m.?
Thus was a 'plant screen' established, costing thousands of dollars, which served to block ENT's view of the 2 a.m. pea-shelling. Art!
No trees. Sorry.
A week later they had all been chopped down, so CAN's father, bristling with rage, bearded ENT in their lair and asked, possibly with a little invective mixed in, what was going on.
ENT claimed that all the plants were on his side of the property line, so he could do whatever he liked with them. Moreover, any more intrusions would be reported to The Authorities. 'Your Honour, they maliciously planted!' hmmmm not sure how that would fly in court.
Nothing daunted, CAN's parents re-planted the privacy screen, since their greenery was still under warranty and could be replaced for free later that week. This time they were nowhere near ENT's property line.
HOWEVER - oh my that word again! - CAN caught ENT trying to chop this privacy screen down. At 02:00 in the morning. Which sneakiness, without invoking The Authorities, suggests that their neighbour with choppy tendencies knew they were acting illegally. Art!
The cops were called. ENT, looking at charges for destruction of property, suggested that they all mark property lines to prevent any such - ah - 'misunderstanding' from happening again.
A couple of days later CAN arrived home to discover surveyor's orange tape all over their back yard and fence lines, and the denouemENT was bad for their neighbour. His fence was ELEVEN PROUD IMPERIAL FEET over the property line. He had to dismantle his fence, with CAN and parents indulging in watching him do so. The privacy plants were relocated and ENT lost one-quarter of his back yard, in addition to paying $10,000 for destruction of property.
Wow. What hideous attraction can pea-shelling have, I wonder?
Before The Descent
A bit of a palate-cleanser. Art!
Thanks to 'War Witch Will Hold This Territory' for the image
How charming. Conrad, of course, can only sip his low-calorie ginger ale and contemplate wistfully all that sugar on display. Taunt me, taunt me with what I cannot have!
DAY OF THE PAGBEAST!
Or, more ungentle shoeing. Night or day, Donnie Dorko has no problem falling asleep if it's not all about him, as he has the attention span of a lobotomised gnat. A lobotomised gnat with ADHD? if such a thing can exist. Art!
"If it's not me me me I don't care"
King Piggy looks worse every week and I'm quite confident he's not going to make it into 2027. So much for bloviating about being on the ballot in 2028. Art!
He looks about 30 seconds away from the gates of Hades. Have pity on poor Melania for having to put up with the Pagbeast, at least until he divorces her and marries his Nappy Nurse. Speaking of which - Art!
Hmmmm I wonder what bulky items are taking up space in that enormous bag - a 3D printer and substrate? for printing out busts of himself?
Other things are not going well for The Nodfather. Art!
Wow, I could carry the weekly shopping home in the bags under his eyes. O, and that's bad news for him since the Wizard Lizard Gizzard party's calculation is that Democratic voters will be the majority of mail-in ballots. And they begin as early as October. Watch BOOH claim this is how 'They' cheated him out of an election win.

President Donald Trump’s 105-minute speech on the opening night of his Republican midterm convention in Dallas was seen by fewer people than a typical audience for Fox News shows Hannity and Gutfeld!, according to preliminary
Conrad still has that emergency bottle of Prosecco in waiting.
You What?
Another item from my news feed that begs the question. Art!
The irresponsible Pablo Escobar, back in the Eighties, decided that a terrific way to spend some of his cocaine billions was to -
- illegally import dozens of hippopotami into Columbia. What a brilliant idea! Well not really, but Ol' Pabs would kill you if he heard the 'N' word. There are now at least 180 of these monsters at large in the Magdalena River drainage area, and they severely impact the local environment, threatening native species. That sounds quite bad enough to me. I think it would only be worse if they spat fire.
Back To Books
Yes, we are back to that list of '20 Classics That Continue To Inspire' although quite what they inspire is open to question in some cases. You don't read Kafka or Orwell for descriptions of eternal happiness and lambs gambolling in a field. Unless you plan on explaining where chops come from and how -
Art!
The introductory blurb quotes from it "Mother died today." NEXT!
No, Conrad has not read it and does not feel culturally the poorer for it. I can boast of having read Alain Robbe-Grillet's novel 'The Erasers' which I can only remember the title of. And - was there a fly crawling along a lampshade.
* Note the CORRECT spelling. Thank you.
