Good analogy, but I'm not sure it's the same.... we *do* live quite close to tracks, which was rather annoying, the first few months, then we got used to a ground-shaking rumble every so often -- where we live, there are no at-grade RR crossings anywhere really close, so there isn't much of the loud train-airhorn.
But fireworks are sharp, sudden noises, quite startling even when expected... it's hard to get used to that. On the rare occasions when whoever is driving the train sees fits to blast that airhorn, it's pretty damn startling!

But you were aware of it beforehand, is the supposition.

Not a big deal sweetie. It's like I said, brings up a vast array of feelz for me
I vaguely remember being in one of those nearby neighborhoods once. Probably the Euclid/S. Walnut side. Looked over one of the single-story house roofs and saw the Matterhorn.
Until then, I never realized how close homeowners lived to that place. It was surreal. Gotta assume a lot of people who go to Disneyland never realize it either, since most people probably get there via 5/Katella. All they'd see is hotels.

Yes, though until we actually lived within 400 ft of RR tracks, we really had no idea how loud it would be. It's better in the summer, the RR thru-way is heavily wooded, and when fully leafed, it helps a little... but we moved here in the autumn, so that winter was interesting.
But, as a child, I lived quite near the ATL airport, regularly had jets buzzing our house, it seemed like.
You do get used to stuff that happens all the time. Andria
Hey Hank. Putting off work with a trip down memory lane with the help of Google Maps.
If you click this (very long) link... that's Knott's Berry Farm in their backyard. AND the Disney fireworks are exploding less than 4 miles away. Ha.

Dear extreme environmentalists:
I would like to give you a transcription of the chat I had with my neighbor today.
Neighbor [seeing my garbage bag]: "Hey did you just go out and pick up trash?"
Me: "Yeah, from here to Bahdonkadonk Road."
Neighbor: "Cool. We did Oompaloompa Road this morning. Wasn't as bad as last year."
Me: "Huh. Mine wasn't as bad as I thought."
Neighbor: "See you later."
Me: "Later."
Did you notice anything missing? Yeah, the self-congratulatory bullshit. The attempt to one-up each other on mileage. The whining about the end of the world.
A brief exchange of pleasantries without the weighty, bloated nonsense. Please try it sometime. Maybe fewer people will hate you.
Suck it,
Lost

What? No, trophy just for being there? Wtf is this world coming too? lol
Holy crap, they won't stop emailing me.
They don't want me involved in their volunteer project because my suggested materials aren't green enough. Despite me confirming from the manufacturer that the frightening chemicals are no longer used. And all this is totally fine.
The problem is that one of them keeps forwarding me their e-mail chain, wanting advice. And when I finally broke down and replied with a solution, he told me he would back out if I tried to help.
Now, he keeps emailing me asking if I want to drive over to help. Does. Any. Of. This. Make. Any. Fucking. Sense. ?.
No. It can't make sense. Because if it does, my only option is full-on flag-waving chest-beating misanthropy.

Dear Group of Men Who Own Tools,
I get it. You own things. They make you feel brave. But now you have to put the pieces together, and you're confused. You really want to do this without me, but you know you'll be fumbling around like morons for hours.
You're all too proud to admit it, but I can roll up with my thousands of dollars worth of equipment and crank this out in minutes. It kills you that someone you desperately want to shun has a skill you don't have.
Well, I have a secret for you, fellow tool owners. Owning shop tools, and even knowing how to use them, doesn't make you a man. You're a man when you can quit tying your masculinity to inanimate objects.
Call me when you stop being pathetic,

The club, welcome to it!
send it to me, I'll try to fix it.
I think I have it figured out finally lol but thanks love
This really happened.
Fact 1: Somebody robbed an Oregon pet store called Zany Zoo. $7,000 gone... including money from a Girl Scout Cookie donation jar. Also missing was a laptop and a $2,500 Galago primate named Gooey.
Fact 2: Turns out the dude robbed his own store, and it was his unknowing wife that reported the crime.
Fact 3: Detectives found out that the dude used the money to pay for a prostitute, and gave her the primate as a gratuity.
Fact 4: Detectives found the prostitute, rescued the primate and arrested the dude as he was leaving a porn shop next to a State Police office, allegedly high on m*th.
Humble suggestion for a headline:
Girl Scout Thief Has Sex With Prostitute, Leaves Her Gooey
