This isn't the tick tick tock of the clock against the wall but rather the tempers that are flaring in this thread and the bomb that may explode. Thankfully, there are only a couple of weeks of summer left. I can''t believe I said that!! I am a shore front owner that has not experienced rafters in front of my property so I am unqualified as to how it would make me feel. I guess it would bother me, no matter how well they conducted themselves. I am hopeful though that before anyone gets shot, we can tone down the retoric and understand that rights and the law come after common sense and courtesy have failed.
