Noise on city streets

I'm no fan of the big cities. If the earth opened up and swallowed all cities with more than 100,000 people I wouldn't mind.

We feel the same about people that try and argue that hatchbacks are different from liftbacks.

Maybe just 4 wheel vehicles... I love the buzz of a vespa, the smell of 2 stroke exhaust and people honking/screaming in tongues I can't understand while I'm waking up in the AM.

You have to start small. I do my part by walking through stores removing warning labels.

I sleep 20 yards off a heavily traveled four lane road that is accessed by everything from un-muffled crotch rockets to tractors hitting the huge-ass-house-shaking bump out front. I sleep straight through it all.

Quitcherbitchin.

My apartment backed onto Forest Park Parkway, a block or so east of Skinker. Our bedroom was in the old sleeping porch on the back side. The ambulance drivers running in and out of the CWE would always (and only) run their sirens continually between midnight and 4am. At that time of night you could safely eat a sandwich in the middle of the parkway. I guess if they had to be awake at that time, they were going to make sure everybody else was, too.

People get touchy when you suggest genocide or banning the internal combustion engine. They just need some time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time to think about it while they are at camp though....
