"fred" and "neighbor" are siblings. The link inside "fred" points
up and over to "neighbor".

My directory shows this:

   jfreeze@rabbit ~/tmp 11 -> ls -dF fred nei*
   fred/           neighbor/
   jfreeze@rabbit ~/tmp 12 -> dir fred
   total 4
   drwxr-xr-x  2 jfreeze  jfreeze  512 Apr 28 23:58 ./
   drwxr-xr-x  7 jfreeze  jfreeze  512 Apr 29 01:25 ../
   lrwxr-xr-x  1 jfreeze  jfreeze   11 Apr 28 23:58 upandover@ -> ../neighbor
