Every night, as I’m falling asleep, I have grown accustomed to hearing the incessant roaring of my neighbor’s motor cycle. I’m certain the thing will never run as he wants it to, but that doesn’t stop him from spending atleast an hour working on it each night, usually starting about 11.

These days, a new sound has been added to my bed time routine. Ready for this: the honking of geese. Yes, my other neighbors brought home 4 geese the other day. I’m not sure their purpose. They might be pets, as they do spend their days meandering in the front yard the way a dog might. Then again, perhaps they are only intended to be eaten since currently there are only 3 geese left and we spotted the 4th being captured alive in a bag and taken inside.
