Dear editor, I don't think I fully understood what a hard-core frequentist you were until you cast shade on Bayesian methods by invoking the climate crisis and criticising brms because it takes more carbon than simpler frequentist tests.

Wow!

Ahem.

STOP SMOKING POT IN THE APARTMENT NEXT TO OURS. ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BEFORE I HAVE AN IMPORTANT PROJECT DUE THE NEXT DAY.

It's not only illegal, but it stinks to high heaven.

We've already called the police on you twice. Read your lease--a third time is grounds for eviction.

We've already called the police on you twice. Read your lease--a third time is grounds for eviction.

Good news: The police were actually able to talk with the young woman tenant, who freely admitted that she was smoking the legal stuff--pot without THC, or "hemp." Same smell, of course, but legal.

Fortunately, our lease terms from our property manager say no smoking anything inside our respective apartments.

As a result, after emailing our property manager with this latest update, I received an email two days ago from them (1) saying that they were starting eviction proceedings against the other tenant due to noncompliance with the lease terms and conditions and (2) apologizing for the inconvenience, including the time it will likely take to get the tenant out of there (using the court system).

So a resolution is indeed coming--we just don't know how long it will take.
