I don't mind holiday noises. Currently the noise that is bothering me the most is that horrendous stuff that the local twenty-somethings consider "music" that they blast at very high volume up at the pool. I can't swim when they're up there blasting that stuff. It's beyond annoying. Whoever it is sounds like they never had lesson one in their life, and the lyrics are beyond awful, it's the same two or three words screamed over and over and over. Gah. I am an old fogie, aren't I?! I don't know why they can't play some REO or Kansas or Foghat or.....
