For ten years I lived two blocks up from St. Vincent's Hospital. Eventually I slept through ambulance sirens and flashing lights. You will likely adjust, just because you'll get too tired to stay awake!

I never did get used to the g*dd*mn Knicks fans honking loudly at 3AM on their way to the Holland Tunnel after games, though. I never needed to watch the game to know if the Knicks won or lost; I could tell by the noise level outside my window in the wee hours of the morning. For my part, I wish Darwin would take care of f*ck*ng sports fans who feel a need to announce their team loyalties hours after the game ended. Starting with Knicks fans with access to car horns.

Now I sleep through angry, screaming conversations outside my window every night. Some of them can still wake me, though. Makes me nostalgic for the ambulance sirens. But not the Knicks fans.

thank goodness for country living. sometimes a barking dog wakes me up...i did have the neighbors mule come by the window one night--he got loose. that was interesting, sitting up and having tony ask what was wrong. i know this sounds crazy hun, i said, but i think i just heard a mule in the front yard braying.

I, too, am very thankful I live on a mountain.

It had to be honking after losses if it was frequent.
For the past few years it should have been dead silent
if success produced honking.

i wouldn't know about last year, as we moved. Now I get nightly live episodes of "B*tch, Where's My Money?" outside.
