We went to bed at about 11pm as usual last night, and discovered that the neighbors (or someone else on the the street) had their music up a bit high and the bass was thumping over to our house. However, at 11pm there’s still traffic on our street, and for the most part the bass was drowned out by the sound of people passing by to get to the highway, and I was able to get to sleep.

Unfortunately, 2am rolls around, and I’m awakened by Eddie heaving tremendous sighs and moaning “the bass is driving me crazy.” I’ve got no idea if he’d been awake the entire time, but at that point I couldn’t get back to sleep. We had no idea where the music was coming from, and bass travels so well that it wouldn’t be easy to pinpoint where it was which is probably why it went on for so long without anyone calling the cops on them. I was up until about 4:30am when the bass was finally turned down enough and I no longer wondered whether or not Comrade had built a nightclub in the basement, and finally got to sleep at around 5am. Of course, we get up at 6am, so when the alarm clock went off I went back to sleep. I was hoping that Eddie would stay home, but he went into work as usual while I stayed home and got a couple of hours extra sleep.
