Sigh.

Our backyard neighbor has recently fixed up his garage. It was a three-day effort, culminating in spreading and raking gravel in front of the doors.

The gravel is not in a rectangle. They were going for "rectangle" but hit upon "awkward trapezoid" instead.

This annoys me. I've spent the day wondering about the propriety of just going over there and re-raking in the middle of the night.
