That's exactly what I was thinking. We live on about a quarter acre, which is nice because we can be pretty far away from the next door neighbor. But on occasions like this, we're still way too close. Every morning I have my office door open to let it cool off in here and without fail, I get to hear everyone's conversations as they go to work or school. They're pretty loud, anyway, but still. Too close.

One of these days we might make it farther out into the country. I feel like I've already taken my wife far enough out of the big town she was used to growing up in that to take her anymore would completely crush her sociable spirit. :)
