Well, I’m back to bitch about street noise again. Who decided this was a good idea? I’m talking about walk-behind street sweepers that sound like incredibly loud lawnmowers with “BAH-LOOP! BAH-LEEP! CAUTION! SWEEPER APPROACHING” blaring through some kind of megaphone. One went by a while ago after I’d spent the previous tweny minutes hearing it but not understanding what was being said, wondering what Big Brother scenario was playing out. It’s highly annoying and the amount of garbage they actually vacuum up is not that impressive. One pass down the street to suck up sand and other finely ground material is probably useful, but after that, street teams with pointy sticks and bags would be quieter and more effective.
Now several more keep going up and down the street, creating weirdly ominous echoes. Two of them were headed straight for each other as if they were playing chicken, but turned around at the last minute. Darn. Those poor guys pushing them don’t even have earphones on, I bet that shit will make them deaf AND crazy. But seriously, these are slow moving vehicles with loud motors under human control, is the voice alert really necessary? Oh man, here they come again.
You need to find yourself a day job or those people are going to send you to the looney farm!!
Uh oh…I just got a call from the Looney Farm asking if I think they should come get you — your Section 8 neighbor called and complained about you sticking your head out the window to scream at the * bleep * on the street!
HAHA
CENSORSHIP ROCKS!!! *NOT!*
It’s a personal blog, my dear. If I don’t want a particular word displayed, that’s my perogative. I’m sure there are more important free speech battles to fight elsewhere, and if you really want to use that word there are plenty of other venues that won’t mind.
