Island quietude...

[msfledermaus]

Usually my neighborhood is very quiet, unlike the rest of the city. I still remember how noisy my old neighborhood was. There was always some drunken crazyperson wandering around, shrieking at the top of his lungs...

Here it's very different. I just heard some bizarre chittering across the street. I'm pretty sure it's raccoons, doing whatever it is raccoons do this time of night. (Yes, raccoons live in other parts of the city...but they're usually drowned out by lots of other noises.)

Now I'm listening to the geese telling the raccoons off for getting too close to the chicken coop. You tell 'em, Pierre!...

I live in a (generally) quiet area, too. Yesterday, I heard someone in another building practicing a flute. Heh.

That's my favorite, when some neighbor practices the piano or guitar or something...
