Say Daffy, did you hear about the environmentalists who want to eliminate lawns? Yes Donald, this must be the same group that wants to leave the 17 acres untouched in Baltimore.

Say Daffy, did you hear about the environmentalists who want us to all use Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). Yes Donald, this must be the same group that wants to ban CFLs because of a drop of Mercury!

Say Daffy did you hear about the activist group that want to ban Mercy dental fillings. Yes Donald, this must be the same activist group that wants to ban plastic fillings too!

Great letter Mark and right on in every respect. Erin Alban's neighbors sound as if they're psychologically underemployed. One more group of limited skills organisms dealing badly with Thoreau's quiet desperation problem.

It's hard to tell about Zeus above. His/its comments are so confused that they look like a middle schooler's response to an assignment to write a letter to the editor in the style of Penelope Ash's Naked Came the Stranger.

Just how do they know 30 percent of water use goes to lawns in the summer? the lawns have their own water meter?

Just another enviro nutjob with an agenda.

Educator and Mark are two loony left wing nut control freaks who are determined to take all the fun out of living for the rest of us!!!

Mark never heard of Daffy Duck and Donald Duck, too bad.

You got it wrong Mark. I guess you didn't notice in the photos that Our American Flag is displayed improperly, and I guess you cannot see in the photos the aerosol spray cans under the shrubs, and I guess you cannot see the oil left on the street from oil changes to Erin Alban's car of her choosing either.
The health inspector was at the property and called the fire department.

Truly another enviro nut job. How would you like to live next door to this guy[ though I doubt he has the means to own a home ].
I love the way these folks toss out "facts" without substantiation-the 30% figure for example and who cares anyway. Does anyone know what PAHs are? I do but I'm educated and look for facts not flap.
MIght be a good idea for the State Police to keep an eye on this big lie proponent. I wonder what his major was at Hopkins and what's the Greenery Committee and why should i listen to them...?
I would suggest that the slob's lawn is a classic example of rat harborage which is a county cod eviolation.

Mr. Rogers (and the Albans) would hardly define you as a 'Neighbor'. Sad.

The guy who wrote this letter is obviously and idiot who based his entire letter on a Sunpaper photo and did not show the real littering going on at this whacko's house.

The vast majority of people do not need to research the definition of 'neighbor' at least not in the working sense. You, on the other hand, may benefit from picking up a Bible. That hostile little mob needs anger management as opposed to lawn management. Leave your neighbor in peace. MYOB.

"MYOB" It is not your health and safety at risk, nor is it your property value at risk either.
