Suddenly I noticed the guy staring at me and made Flip close our shades pronto. (Flip reported that he was picking his nose with one hand; we don't know what his other hand was doing.) <br /><br />The shades are white linen<br />surrounded by filmy drapes. The triple bay window is a southeast exposure and I have many plants, so for years I've kept them open all day. Now I have to be mindful of my attire and adjust them constantly. Unfortunately after this morning's little sighting, he'll probably be even more vigilant, if that's possible.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-41959741986085950482009-06-22T14:54:44.598-07:002009-06-22T14:54:44.598-07:00Wow, you've had such a tough time in that neig...Wow, you've had such a tough time in that neighborhood.

I lived on a 450-acre piece of land in Western NC with no neighbors until the owners of the property allowed every inch of it to be clear cut by lumberers so they wouldn't have to work.<br /><br />It should be noted that the Hatfields and McCoys did not live in an urban setting but if you really hate someone, the entire world is too small.<br /><br />Jo,<br /><br />I haven't Googled it yet but it sounds like the film used on auto windows.

Frosted privacy films are translucent and allow light to pass through while providing 24-hour privacy. Mirrored privacy films provide daytime privacy. They allow you to see outside, but stop others from seeing in during the day. Black static cling films are also offered to provide daytime privacy and reduce the amount of light that comes into a room. Privacy films also block 99% of UV rays."</em><br /><br />If you Google "window privacy films", you will find all sort of them.<br /><br />Littlepea's suggestion would be a lot more fun, though.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-2580042072776160322009-06-20T22:10:57.336-07:002009-06-20T22:10:57.336-07:00I don't think I could handle city living, espe...I don't think I could handle city living, especially this sort of thing.
