All I can say about someone who intentionally would turn on their sprinklers on a woman with dementi is that it is sad. They need to get a hobby and remember that this is supposed to be the “friendliest” community. As a dog owner, I make sure my dog does not go onto anyone’s lawn. It is a matter of respect. I have a neighbor who allows her dog to poop on my front yard. She is an elderly lady who is sweet. I don’t stay up at night dwelling on it and so I let it go. Life is short.

You are absolutely right about someone intentionally turning the sprinkler on a person with dementia or any other handicap. The person with dementia needs help and the proper authorities should be called to help her.
I love the way people use “friendliest town” in general though. Don’t you? It is almost always used by people who do something aggravating or illegal and expect the others to be “friendly” (put up with it) about it.
