Neighbor kid got a New Year harmonica, stuck it in his mouth and is just breathing in and out. It's like a horror movie soundtrack.

Never thought I'd say this, but I really want them to get to "OH LORD, Kumbaya!" so they can be freaking /done./

Now they're playing "Kumbaya" on the keyboard... over and over... but it's just the first bit. "Kumbaya, My Lord, Kumbaya."

Net effect went beyond irritation, and wrapped back around to Really Funny.

They finally stopped screaming & got ice cream, so the mom just killed the stereo, but for a minute there it was everything going at once.

And then an Ice Cream Truck pulled up with his looping loudspeaker. And parked, waiting for the still-screaming children to buy ice cream.

Then their cell phone, which they leave in the window right outside our kitchen, rang "Yankee Doodle."

Just now, all at once: Neighbor kids were having a screaming fight, so the mom turned the stereo up full blast to cover them.

New design up: Rolling Twenties. Quite possibly my favorite so far. ping.fm/1RIgg

Thumper's playing his music low enough right now that I can tell what it is... and it's DDR.
