Hey, happy campers. Welcome back to Camp Shady Birch.

It is week 178 here at camp.

And if you hear some noise in the background, it is because they are chopping down trees at camp right now.

Deforestation is at an all-time high, and I can't believe it.

Chainsaws are rumbling through our neighborhood right now. We actually just lost power for

like maybe 35 seconds before we started recording, and I'm pretty sure our neighbor has cut

a power line with his chainsaw. I don't know what he's chainsawing, but it's like the most

inconsistent, nulling noise for the past four hours. And we're like, you know what?

Just like, just chopped a tree down at this point. Like, just really commit. I don't know.

And let me say this about this neighbor specifically. Not my favorite neighbor on the street.

He, I don't, I didn't really get a good look at him or her. You know why you don't get a good look at them? Because they don't look at us.

It's like, hello, I drive past her house at least four times a day every single day for almost a

year now. We're coming up on a year with this. And they look the other way. They never look at us. I know exactly what they are and what they do. They worked on their nasty garage for like the first six months of us living here. And it still looks like shit on the inside because it's always open and it's a lot of plywood. And it's like, hello, let's get some finishings going. And they lost a lot of trees during the last storm. And that's what they're doing right now. But it's like just higher professionals because at this rate, you'll be doing it

until next June, you know? So if you hear any whirling and swirling, it's sandwich out there.

I love our neighbor across the street. I love our neighbors left. And I love our neighbor to the

right. He is catty corner. Kitty cat corner. And his jog, don't even get me started. About that nasty rot wire. I don't even know what it looks like, but all you hear this is, yap, yep, yep, yep, yep. Is it a tiny one? I don't know. It doesn't sound tiny. It sounds robust. Oh, God. But at least we're good neighbors. Yeah, and that's not really our neighbor. That's just like a neighbor adjacent. So I don't got to bring him a pie.

But he should. It sounds robust. Oh, God. But at least we're good neighbors. Yeah, and that's not really our neighbor.

That's just like a neighbor adjacent.

So I don't gotta bring him a bye.

But he should look at us when we drive by. No, you know, we should roll down the window next time. I'll be like, look at me! I don't, well, the woman that lives next to him, every time I drive past her and she's getting the mail, which has happened a lot.

She always acts as if I'm going to hit her.

It's like, I'm going 20 miles an hour.
