Noises in my life
Barking dogs blend into children arguing about arguing. Front yard football games yield a mixture of laughter and anger. James McMurtry drifts out of stereo speakers. Neighbors complaining about the noises our dogs make during seemingly endless home improvement projects. Complaining about the neighbors' complaints. Coaches screaming, bands playing, fans fussing. The irritating rattle of an oven installed during a $10,000 kitchen renovation. Cars zipping by, bass line thumping. A distant train on phantom tracks. Laptop keys clicking. Kindergarten stories. Snores of an overweight dog.

I love how lyrical and poetic this is, yet it still has that down-to-earth Steve Irvine style. :) "Arguing about arguing" and "complaining about complaints" is awesome, too.
