Around my shop was nothing, an apple orchard was about the only sign of civilization and the road. Then they started building houses, ugly ones. When the closest new neighbor turned on a porch light for the first time, it sent me into depression for about a week. It is supposed to be dark at night, and I liked sometimes having to feel my way out to where my truck was parked....and the neighbor, I don't know why they have to turn on the light, nobody ever comes over.
