  This is a good chance for any of us to experience first  hand the 
reactivity that can occur from either side when we are dealing with  "neighbor 
to 
neighbor" relationships in coho.  Luckily there are others  around who don't 
feel 
aggravated  (this time) and can help work  out whatever is causing alarm.
    One may feel very threatened when another  takes an action that
seems to disregard closely held values. Once I have been  there,
with much effort, I can learn to say to myself   "Oh so that's 
what it's like when I get mad about skates left on the walk or  lights left 
on in the CH."
    I remember someone once writing that coho  is the most expensive growth 
experience they'd ever had.
   During my early years reading Coho-l  Rob S.  was often a voice lending 
friendly advice, ideas about what to do, humor or  normalizing things by 
acknowledging that "hey, this happens."
