I was watching the news the other day stating that Rand Paul neighbor attacked him resulting in 5 broken ribs. The attack was not politically motivated but due to a trivial matter about yard waste etc....
Manu Raju, a CNN correspondent, reported that it may have had something to do with “yard waste and leaves blown on each other’s lawns for years.

This incident could have happened to me last year. My next door neighbor an 84 year old widow, have knocked a couple of times during this time of the year complaining that dead leaves from my yard is being blown by the wind to her front yard. She threatened that if I did not removed the leaves right away she would call the police. I would appease her by cleaning the leaves right away. Last year I did not have a gardener.
This year my gardener comes only twice a month. This time of the year, leaves have to be clean at least once a day, so it would not accumulate. David and I would only rake the leaves once a week. The leaves are accumulating and dropping every minute. This year my neighbor was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's. She is no longer obsessed with her yard. Her oldest son takes care of her. So far as of this writing date no one knocks at our door complaining about the autumn leaves in my yard.
The above incident reminds me of my favorite song this time of the year- Autumn Leaves as follows:
