A pox upon you and your house 6 AM boomcar person!

It is now 3 PM and I am dragging. I woke up shortly before 6 this morning and let our aged kitty out then I got back into bed. I was about to go back to sleep for an hour or so when I heard a ka-thumpa, ka-thumpa noise. It took me a minute to realize this must be a car stopped at the light a block and half away and if I could hear the stereo it must really, really freakin' loud.
I manged to sleep a little but was plagued by NPR laced dreams in which I had to get the kids from auto shop before the Senator Domenici press conference after I lost my shoes in the flooding.

I would imagine that some of kids have parents who are proud of the amount of time and money that Jr. has put into the noise pollution machine.; ▶ Reply to This

He's probably related to the chick across the street from us that has parties that end with her best-friend-forever cussing her out and vomiting in my rosemary bushes at 5 am. Ooh, summertime urban livin'.; ▶ Reply to This

Maybe seeing me coming at them with my garden hose in my pjs and no makeup would scare them into silent submission. Otherwise I want to meet those fabulous old viejos with the axes!!!; ▶ Reply to This

But that is not in the middle of the night or crack of dawn! someone on Gibson (apartment building) does this daily at all hours & obviously APD hasn't caught them yet or they don't care. Bless you Mombat. I feel your pain.; ▶ Reply to This
