To clarify totally, I never left my chair, never set down my cup of coffee. My home is secure, and as was pointed out to me, he was not on my property. I had a phone within reach, and neighbors have phones too.

What is there to do? As I see it, I had two choices for responding. First, call the police and tell them that I had a very minor disturbance of my peace.

Second choice was to step outside my home and confront a person who wasn't even legally on my property, but on a public easement, making a little noise.

Lacking any further aggravating circumstances, neither option seemed logical.

I did, however, ask my wife if I should go do something. She told me to shut up and mind my own business, because i was interrupting her music.

One thing I can always count on my wife for, is to express the attitude of a hostile attorney or juror. she is my touchstone of legal immunity. If my wife thinks it's unnecessary to intervene, so would a jury. So, I always listen to her advice and then decide whether or not to ignore it.
