Free Range by Bill Whitehead for April 17, 2021

It’s time to buy some good anti-noise ear muffs.

That’s interesting. I teach Krav Maga, and my husband plays bagpipes all night.

Sounds alright to me.

I 4C trouble ahead.

At least they won’t have clogging issues.

they’re gonna get a bang outta darleen and dave…

Reminds me of TBBT…

Then they had three kids and got divorced. He moved out. I moved to live in the flat they show as 3C. (I moved out about 2 years later.)

Time to call the landlord! Or maybe landlord is trying to get rid of nice, quiet couple so they can sell the place?

…our son plays drums in a metal band, and our daughter has a daycare business in her room…

You’d think they’d at least bring a bottle of wine as a house warming gift.

A yappy dog beats all that. I hate yappy dogs that bark all the time.

1955 freshman year at RISD, Providence RI, I roomed with 2 other RISD freshmen on a 3rd story of an old house. Owner lived on the first floor, an elderly couple on the 2nd. When practicing tenor banjo my feet stomped/tapped along with every song. Elderly couple below complained their antique ceiling lamp swayed back & forth, & fragile dishes danced along in a cabinet.

Now in my mid 80s still manage to keep the rust off the strings of a tenor banjo:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GZKvBq4mZ9Fqs3MdXl2pzIJcysUCtED8/view?usp=sharing

Celebrated first Moderna vaccination Feb. 1st with my version on Pete Seeger’s Coal Creek March on 5-string banjo:

Ah! Well, make sure you all wear Kevlar-soled dancing shoes!

damage them both now

And our oldest son, who is a big klutz, collects bowling balls

That’s great, here in 3C we clean our weapons each night and occasionally unload a few rounds into the ceiling trying to kill the cockroaches hiding up there. And don’t tell the super, but we vented our grow room up into your master. Thanks for stopping by!

…and our headboard and bedsprings squeak all night!
