Well, here is an update to knock your socks off...after that Friday night, things on Monday seemed a mite quiter, maybe. Then, by Wednesday, back up to LOUD!! Another Friday loud, and finally, this Monday, I called the police. They showed up, and those guys were cranking! Loud! The police talked to them, and left. Ten minutes later, LOUD!

So, tonight, I called again. And, the same officer came out..and heard it again. He was like, "I told them last time..."...then, the dad walked up the street, and the officer said, "look...we were here on Monday, what is going on?" I filled out a complaint, and we are going to try private mediation. I pushed for a citation, but, the officer said to try this first..he he he...

The officer told the dad- band is over tonight. No more noise. The dad came over later, very apologetic, as was I. He said his son would like to talk to me, and see if we can't work something out...and I said that I was agreeable to that, but, I was done listening to 6 hours of cruddy music a week, and I wasn't hopeful that the sound would be lowered enough.

One of the boys had a few choice words for me (funny how well this 18 year old knew me ). I told the dad I really didn't appreciate that kids comments, and it certainly wasn't making me receptive to working something out with the 'band'. He said that that boy was kind of trouble, and again he was very sorry.

How do you like that? I call the police on my neighbors, and they apologize to me! I like the quiet! I like the peace! At least for tonight.
