TALK TO US

Dish the dirt on bad neighbors

Do fences really make the best neighbors? Is it possible to live and let live? If you've ever had to put up with loud music, barking dogs and messy yards, you know neighborly love often is anything but. We want to hear your stories of how you've dealt with nasty neighbors. Contact Staff Writer Patrick Verel at (706) 823-3332 or patrick.verel@ augustachronicle.com before Monday.

TV tonight

Suspicions abound tonight in 'Lost'

Finally, a new episode of Lost. When we last visited the God-forsaken island, poor Boone expired despite Jack's best efforts to save him. Now, as they prepare to bury their fallen comrade, the castaways are on edge and their suspicions of each other grow. Are you ready for some Lord of the Flies-style action? The show airs at 8 on ABC (WJBF, Channel 6).
