Happy Monday! We hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We did not, given what happened in the NFL playoffs (but that’s another matter).
We don’t know what’s happening in your neighborhood (let us know!), but construction crews have been busy busy busy here on Oakhill Road. And just his afternoon– not 10 minutes ago– we watched as crews once again violated our construction agreement. We’ve got pictures and will explain later. In fact, we’ll run down the whole list to date.
In the meantime, we thought we’d share a few remarks by our friend Beth Duman, who has been ruminating on those holiday cherries. Her comments are so spot-on we thought they deserved a bit of space in a post. Here’s Beth:
Neighbors???
We, too, are offended by the “Neighbors’” rhetoric that Enbridge is using. We have great neighbors – they are responsible, friendly and always ready to lend a hand when we need them. Enbridge has invaded our neighborhood – violated our privacy for months; run giant noisy machines past our windows, clogged our yards with clouds of dust, despoiled our landscaping, left piles of tires along our roads, and even planted an outhouse in the middle of one of our good neighbor’s front yard. Let’s get real – Enbridge has not kept their promise to move through our neighborhood quickly so our disturbance would be short-term. Rather than neighbors, they’ve moved in like an alien army, doing what they please, pillaging our land and holding us hostage to their project of financial gain.
….and they think a box of chocolates will make it all better… it sounds like a textbook abusive relationship to us!
