Annoyances

| | Comments (4)

I generally get up super-early. Like between 5:30 and 6:00 if I can manage it. I like to relax at home, have some tea, and get ready for the day.

But one of my neighbors inadvertently makes This time somewhat less enjoyable. Someone in my neighborhood has a deisel vihicle of some kind and warms it up for something like a half hour every morning. I wouldn't care so much, but it appears that the fumes, in order to assuage their agoraphobia, take refuge in my place.

So each and every morning, I relax, drink tea, and catch up on the news while smelling the sweet perfume of Eau de Truck. Hopefully once the weather really turns it won't be necessary to warm up the machine that long.

A little sugar in the gas tank never hurt anyone. Except for the truck. And the guy who owns the truck. And the person who gets caught by the owner of the truck pouring sugar into the truck's gas tank.

Yeah, I'm somehow guessing that such an incident wouldn't escape notice by various state bar ethics committees.

Did you say 5:30?!

That's disgusting, do you guys not have emissions testing?

Mackenzie said:

Yeah, I've become a bit of an early bird since law school. I don't always make it, but 6:30 is the absolute latest.

And no, we don't have emissions testing here. And WY supplies tons of methane, coal, and other minerals, so there are a lot of pollution connections here.

Not to mention that I don't know how emissions testing works with diesel vehicles.
