I agree with you, fortunately the guy in question, lives three houses down from us. So he isn't right next door. My spouse, who is on the board of our community marina, had words last summer with him. The guy was purposely leaving the locking gate at the marina ajar. My husband blew a gasket over that one!
Not only did his actions create a liability situation for the community insofar as allowing unauthorized people into the marina; but, like us, most residents have young grandchildren that come for extended visits. I shudder to think of a young child getting out on the dock and falling into the bay!
I know what you mean about hearing music from your college days. I came of age during the Vietnam War when all that great music from Cream; Steppenwolf; etc. was popular. Even after all these years later, I can hear one of their songs and it takes me right back to that time in place. I shake my head and think where the heck did all the years go?
I adopted my very first Siamese, a little Sealpoint male kitten, when I was 25. After he passed away, I adopted my second Sealpoint male kitten. After he passed away from CRF, I adopted litter mates. They were 10 weeks old and the male, pictured in my avatr, is a Sealpoint Siamese and his sister is a Blue Point Siamese. And, like your girl, my little Siamese girl talks more than all three male Siamese combined. Playing with her toys and talking are her favorite past times and she always must have the last word!
We call her our little Diva.
