Noise Ordinance
Nov. 29th, 2010 11:59 pmThis morning I woke up to someone banging on my window. BAM BAM BAM. BAM BAM BAM.
Once I figured out it was coming from the window—not easy, as the whole place was rattling—it was time to narrow it down further. Confused burglar? Lovesick lad? No, couldn’t see anyone … Um, cold ghost?
BAM BAM BAM.
Finally I gave up and went around to see what all the noise was.
It was a northern flicker who’d decided to take up residence in our house, bashin’ his head against our deck.
Darn nature. I’d tell it to get off my lawn, but then I wouldn’t have a lawn.
