Walkers circle this high school block constantly, day and night. When the mood strikes, I will occasionally make the circuit.
Out for a stroll the other night and heading for home around 8:00 p.m., I came to my neighbors' driveway and was there arrested by the most odd anomaly in the evening soundscape - their yard radio was NOT playing from or into the center of their (illegal) business yard. Instead, the only sound waves generated by their single-speaker outdoor system were confined to the uninhabited corner of their lot just across the fence from my house, as detailed in this earlier post.
Ah, silly me, to earlier think that they had added the speaker to their system just for my benefit.
The reality is that they moved their ONLY speaker as close as possible to my house - just for my benefit.
These women (and I use the term reluctantly) are hell-bent to ensure that a CONSTANT stream of their noise pours across the fence. During the infrequent stretches when the icemaker is not thrumming along, they fill the noise vacuum (aka, silence) with the vacuous auditories of light rock.
Because the icemaker is an unreliable indicator of their presence, I just listen for the radio...
