In case you can't tell from the photo, they are boys. Rather young. And they like to play music with the bass turned up. I met one of them tonight--Josh--and he says he's a senior and the other two (at least there aren't four) are juniors.

Hopefully they won't have the occasional stink attacks, like the last neighbors.

Naturally, it was a bit of a disaster. Who knew you were supposed to peel bananas before freezing them?
