Last night soft rain began falling just as I was heading to bed. I love the sound of gentle rainfall and often use the sound of rain on the HomePods in the bedroom to fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Last night the fake track wasn\u2019t necessary, Mother Nature provided a natural soundtrack all night long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Although about 1 or 2 am, the natural soundtrack was interrupted by a bunch of noise from jackass central where Crazy Pants and the other transient trash live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I suppose that as much of a pain in the ass as it is. I\u2019m going to have to start making noise complaints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

My hesitation about that is if I\u2019m not going to be living here for much longer do I really care? Another consideration is if I start a \u201cwar\u201d with those idiots, it could impact my ability to sell my house because if their behavior gets worse, it could scare off potential buyers. Fortunately the eye sore that it their property is mostly concealed by trees and other structures that don\u2019t look like cover photos for \u201cHomeless Beautiful, Your definitive guide to shitty living<\/em>\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I love that the police are always so concerned about Crazy Pant\u2019s rights, but when asked what about the other neighbors rights they shake their heads. Technically it\u2019s not fair to place the police in that metaphorical vise. It\u2019s not their job to decide. Since Crazy Pants and everyone else in the neighborhood have equal rights, it\u2019s for a judge to determine where the line is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Eventually the noise died down at Crazy Pants place. I can only hope that they drugged themselves into a stupor or death. I know there\u2019s no such luck on the latter so I\u2019ll take comfort in the former. Once their annoyance quieted, the rain was back. The sound seemed a little louder, as if the intensity of the storm increased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Perhaps Nature was just trying to drown out the shenanigans so the neighborhood could sleep soundly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

On thing of note about the noise was that the dog didn\u2019t budge from his spot on the bed. When the noise started, he looked up, groaned, and went back to sleep. That\u2019s a comment on the frequency of the disruptions coming from Crazy Pants place. Even the dog is disinterested. He\u2019s a classy dog & they\u2019re trashy primates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s cool and overcast this morning. There\u2019s a slight chance of more rain but I doubt it will happen. I\u2019m thankful for the break in temperature and the quiet of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t have to water the trees and there may have been enough rain to rinse the dust off the solar panels. That\u2019s one of the things the brochures don\u2019t tell you. Those panels on the roof have to be rinsed from time to time, dust and pollen have a measurable effect on the panel efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure there are additional chores that I need to do around here. With watering and rinsing off the list, I think I\u2019ll have another cup of coffee and enjoy the morning a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Besides, the weather station here in the living room says we could have some thunderstorms. I\u2019d like that, but I\u2019d also be content with more gentle rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
