Dear teenage neighbors I never liked very much anyway

And I always think this problem is an inner-city one.

I am sorry for your pain for you, but also because it makes me feel like there is NOWHERE TO HIDE.

It's better here than it was when we lived in an apartment: if our neighbors have an ordinary party, we have to be at the windows on the correct side of the house to hear them -- that is, it's fairly easy not to. This one is loud enough to overcome the suburban gap. Uff da.

Also they have started a bonfire. Joy. I have not yet steeled myself to call the police on bonfire-burners here, even though it's illegal within Eagan city limits, but I probably should; it really bothers me and is, as I mentioned, not legal.

THE SYSTEM IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM IS DOWN.

Here's hoping for rain to stop the party and save your sanity.

It also goes with this:
Dear people in the car 20 yards away;

Is there any reason that the music in your car should be create minor tremors of bassy rythm eminating through mine?

They feared your stereo might be broken! They were just the giving types!

It turned out my reaction to the neighbors did not change when later in the night they switched to the BoDeans, who do have noises in their songs that are not "thump" or "oontz-oontz," but who are apparently well enough known to the teenager neighbors that they feel the need to holler, "No, no, no!" along with the chorus of "Still the Night." I agreed: no, no, no!

However, dealing with inconsiderate teenaged neighbors may be more satisfying when the proceedings include the sound "thump." Not sure about "oontz-oontz" in that case.

I consider refraining from making them make any noises like "oontz" part of my good deed set for the week.
