Judd and Jane owned two rectangular plots of land that were divided by a drainage ditch.  Because our property couldn't make up its mind about what shape it wanted to be, we kids played on Judd and Jane's land.  They didn't mind so long as we behaved, which we did most of the time.
I look out my window now and see the neighborhood kids dashing here and there over my yard and other yards with zero thought about property lines.  An even stretch to throw a ball is an even stretch never mind who technically owns it.  I'm thankful that Judd and Jane knew this, too.
