The streets of rural central Wisconsin must've gotten a lot meaner since last time I passed through.
From my neighbor's perspective, maybe? Hahaha
True story..... A number of years ago I was outside, in my front yard digging a fairly deep hole one early Sunday morning. Maybe 6am?
I was waist deep in it digging when my across the street neighbor lady came out in her robe and slippers to get their paper. I waved to her...... She paused, then proceeded to come across the street to me.
I was all excited telling her about the rockery (rock garden) that I was digging drainage for so I could grow some native cacti. I was REALLY excited!
She, not having Any of that asked.....saying that she hasn't seen my wife in a good long while....??? Haha, I Laughed & Laughed.....
She then said "No, Seriously." Giving me a Stearn look.
:0
I looked at her calmly, straight faced.
(Thinking the audacity of her insinuating what she did)
I said...... "Nope, that's what the hole in the Backyard is for."
her eyes got really large. She gave an uncomfortable look, turned around, and walked home......
We never talked again.
