Saturday night! A lovely night, actually: cool but not cold, soft of air and clear of sky….
The racket from our local morons’ unmuffled hot-rods echoes down from Main Drag North. And what a racket! The cops have lots of other things to do than enforce the law that requires cars to be equipped with mufflers. So…that’s one that’s ignored consistently.
And so here in the ‘Hood we get roar roar ROOOAAAR into the night. All night, every night. With ROARS in spades on the weekends.
And just now we’re getting BAM…BAM…BAM BAM from an idiot neighbor playing with his gun. And probably one or two other idiots setting off fireworks.
Makes Sun City look good, I’ll tellya!
And I ain’t fond of Sun City….
It’s agin’ the law to run your car without a muffler hereabouts. BUT…this bein’ Arizona, it’s a law honored more in the ignoring than in the enforcing. So here in town, we get blasted with engine noise, way into the the night.
And one has to allow: no doubt the cops have lots better things to do than bellyache at people for making a racket.
Speeding.
Gunshots.
Rattletrap junkers.
Stoned drivers.
Ech! What a place!!
But I suppose most places are like it, eh? Well…city places, anyway.
Wish there were a quieter place to live in these parts. NOT the mausoleum that is Sun City, that is. But really: far’s I can tell, there’s not.
Just get used to it and enjoy it, eh?
