We like it, but that opinion, we learned, is not unanimous. One neighbor on the other side of the street told the painters while we were at work that she knew that this was not what we wanted.

We reassured him and bought him and his painting partner some pizza. It's strange what you unexpectedly learn about the neighbors when you paint your house a different color.
