Living on a Culd-de-Sac

Well, we have discovered that living on a cul-de-sac has a couple "minor" drawbacks. One is parking, which isn't that big of deal as we don't usually have a lot of people over. In addition, we have a pretty good size driveway, which can accommodate almost 6 cars. So, we aren't too upset about this problem. The other issue, though, has irked Eric a few times over the past couple of weeks.

We have discovered that our neighbor boy (who is in HS) likes to have his friends come park in front of his house at night (usually after 11:00 pm) so they can chat without going in the house and being bugged by his mom. The problem you ask -- well, he and his friends don't realize that the angle they park their cars at makes their headlights shine directly on the front of our house! Last night, Eric was soooo annoyed with this. I tried to help the situation by going out and standing on the front porch so they would get the idea that they were causing a distraction. It took a few minutes, but they finally dispersed.

I really never noticed this as we have blinds and all up, but I could see where Eric was getting annoyed as the headlights were illuminating our house :( The boys are just having a good ol time and didn't pay any attention to their lights. The simple solution would be to turn off the headlights. I could care less if they sit out there and talk (or whatever they do).

The solution you ask? Eric wanted me to call my dad and ask him to bring out his 1 million watt spotlight (that Bobby had to have) so that when they do this again, he can walk out and shine the light back in their eyes. I would die of laughter if he did this!!!! I guess they would get the idea though :)
