Epinion: Jubail and the Eastern Province.
in the spirit of Ruth Ozeki's wonderful My Year of Meats, here's a list of my own.
Things that Do Not Belong in the Front Yard
Any fiberglass creature. Of any kind. However, fiberglass deer are the most contemptuous of fiberglass fauna.
Cars for sale. One must exercise discipline in the art of vehicle exchange; drive it to the Wal-Mart parking lot and abandon it. Don't forget the for sale sign.
Yard Art. This overlaps with the fiberglass creatures topic, but may also include those wooden cutouts of gramma leaning over with her bum facing you as she tends her "garden"; any holiday-related scene (e.g. Santa Claus and his elves, halloween decorations); etc. One must consider the feng shui of the neighborhood when affixing items to the earth. It may cause severe visual discomfort to others.
