This doesn't look like an alarm clock, but....


See that cute little 'Bobcat' front end loader, near the red-leafed tree beside the house ? It doesn't look like the nuisance of the neighborhood, does it? Well, it is! That damned little thing has one of those really noisy back-up alarms on it, and it woke me and half the neighborhood up this morning with its seemingly-constant 'Peep-Peep-Peeping'. You'd think in a spot like this, where there's little chance of any problem, they could shut off that damned alarm and let the others in the neighborhood have some peace-and-quiet, but no - rules are rules. So everybody for half a mile around gets to listen to that annoying little alarm on that cute little machine. All of which brings me, after a great delay, to today's 'Question Everything', which is: "What was wrong with the blacktop that was already on that semi-circular driveway?" - I can't see any obvious problems with it. Maybe those people just have more money than brains, and need to get rid of some. If that's the case, they could always donate it to the neighbors for the purchase of soundproof earmuffs or earplugs, so we could get some peace and quiet around here! There! I feel better.
