For the past 2.5 hours, some jerks around the corner have been booming their "music".
It was loud enough from 100yds away that I had to turn up my TV volume, & was
wondering about earplugs & sleeping pills for tonight.
Finally screwed up my courage (I'm really not a confrontational person), put on shoes,
& walked over there to ask them _politely_ to turn it down.
"Hi guys, it's getting late & you've been having this turned up loud for a couple hours now.
Would you please turn it down?" Amazingly enough, they did!
I told them I thought I should ask politely before calling police. (Not that police are likely
to come by before the boomers get tired of it and shut down for the morning.)
Then after I said thank you and started to walk away, the guy who turned down the radio
said, "you didn't have to come over here with a gun, you could have just asked."
I didn't say anything, but I figure it's a good rep to have in this neighborhood. 'Sides, I
didn't touch it or say anything about it. It was just there, as always. Three on one, I like
having a little help hanging around Just In Case.
