Street Noise Posted by Judy D-B on March 3, 2016, 10:41 am 189.164.113.3 When I visit my friends on the hill, I don't envy them that steep climb, but if you happen to live on the beach with a bedroom door and _ing on main street, you'll appreciate this poem and these photos--and perhaps join me in thinking that the climb wouldn't be so bad. On the other hand, I could always sleep in the hammock on my beachside porch! Here's the truth to the double-sided pleasure of living both beachside and really close to the action: http://judydykstrabrown.com/2016/03/03/no-perfection-in-the-universe/ ------------------------

Re: Street Noise Posted by Larry F on March 4, 2016, 10:37 am, in reply to "Re: Street Noise" 189.164.115.142 Great poem Judy. Please keep in mind that we live in a low-income area. Most people cannot afford a newer vehicle, let alone properly maintain the one they might own. The cheaper alternative is a motorbike. The problem here is that the salt air rusts out the inside of mufflers. The main street is the commercial thoughfare for the town, resulting in the addition of large delivery trucks into the mix of motorbikes and ATV's. Such is life. Back in my hometown, there are many very expensive Harley Davidson bikes, the muffler sounds of such that they rattle windows. Difference being that they are creating their noise by choice. Did I once hear that Valerie was an ex-biker? Maybe it was a boater. ------------------------

Re: Street Noise Posted by Judy D-B on March 4, 2016, 1:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Street Noise" 189.164.113.3 Larry F--I always appreciate the different perspective someone else can give to a statement or situation I've posed. Your explanation of the absence of mufflers makes me more tolerant of the noise. It seems reasonable that they wouldn't last any longer than any other metal does seaside. Thanks for commenting and broadening my view of the situation. Now perhaps you can address the matter of gas trucks in the morning...ha. ------------------------
