See here for the saga....

Last night, the police were here, again. We all talked...the band, the parents, the police, and the chaplain (who just happened to be riding with the officer that night). My ONLY choice was to cite the son, who is 18. That means, he would have a record, though the offense (loud music) isn't that big of a deal. I just can't do that to an 18 year old...who hasn't ever been in trouble, and who is my neighbor. I just can't.

So, this is my plan! On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, at 4:45 pm, Eric lets Binx out into the backyard to relieve himself. I no longer "have" to come home to do it, and will either work late, OR, go to the gym right from work...not getting home until 7 pm anyhow. I won't be around to hear the music, and won't be bothered by it.

I left Eric a note, asking if this solution will work. I hope he says YES! It is the best of both worlds...the band can play, and I am not home, but, not taking care of my obligations....

What do you guys think????
