Dilemma #1: East Neighbors are a sweet young couple. I've taken care of their bins & mail while they were away, and they gave me a lovely orchid. Ms. East Neighbor has twice now planted plants juuust over the property line — maybe a foot. It looks fine; that isn't the issue.
But are they going to keep doing this? I just planted lavender not far from one of EN's new plants, and I'd like to keep other plants that came with the house.
They've expressed a little dismay in the past at the clover that I've allowed to grow. There's a lot of it, my yard waste bin is tiny, the bees like it, and at least before it stops raining for the summer it looks nice. I really don't want to remove it, and I don't want them to remove any more of it.
Dilemma #2: I'm not going to Burning Man this year; it starts in less than two weeks. But I want to go next year. I'm considering three camps of varying degrees of officialness that I might camp with:

- Opulent Temple. This is where my heart is. I've loved their events on playa & off for over ten years. Maybe it's time I helped them do the thing. They're a huge group by )'( standards. I don't remember who was telling me this (Shiny H?) but apparently they've had an issue with sparkle ponies, i.e. pretty people who don't pull their weight. And they ran into money issues eight years ago, but those are surely resolved.

marc17 wants people to help keep his art car going. I know him, but not well. I trust him not to be evil. It would be a very small group. Am I ready to deal with the concommittant lack of stuff that official theme camps often provide? I'm not sure. - Camp Beaverton, yet again. I'm down with the mission of more & better sex for queer women. But camping with a bunch of dykes at least twenty years my junior is a constant reminder of how old and single I am. And )'( has gotten so large that even in '18 we needed about double the space to handle demand for our events comfortably.
