Random NOVAtown* Observation

We slept with the windows open last night. The temperature at night has dropped considerably, and we hate to spend money on air conditioning when you can just open the window. Because we are cheap like that.

And you know what? It's really noisy outside at night. I'm not just talking about traffic noise (though that's considerable as well, since we're at a pretty busy intersection), but the bugs are really, really noisy.

I guess I had gotten really used to TVPNM, where we didn't even *have* air conditioning, and the only sounds you heard at night were airplanes, occasional sirens, and normal neighborhood noises. Like cats fighting, dogs barking, or - in our case - chickens.
