Ah, the Sounds of Spring...

[jon_chaisson]

As I'd said to Lynxie today, you know it's springtime when the weather is completely crappy outside but it's warm. And right now it's pretty damn windy, which of course makes sense because I'm nearly on top of a hill overlooking the town. And I've just lost the satellite on the tv, so I can't get anything in on tv, damn it.

On a side note, I've gotten used to the New Jersey version of a fire alarm, which is basically the wrrrrrrroooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooorrrrrrr of an air raid siren, though I still find it weird. Then again, Athol's version of a fire alarm (the weird-sounding ngarrrnk.....ngarrrrrnk of repeating klaxons) must sound weird to non-Atholites.


And on another sidenote, I see that Pope John Paul II has died. Though it's sad to hear, I'm glad that he's no longer going through the suffering he's had for so many years. RIP and Bless You, Father.

We've got the same kind of siren in MD. When I was in grade school, I always fancied we were under attack, since in WW2 movies that kind of alarm only sounded when it was going to be followed by a plane attack. Creepy, I'll admit.
