NB>>> Should she ask, I suppose you could respond with, that's why I NB>>> want you to learn how to do things better than I.... ;) BM>> At this point I'm not sure that logic would work. Plus I do need to BM>> clean up, But First! NB>> Yeah, she might be too young still... :) And eventually you probably NB>> will get to the clean up.... maybe even before Autumn grows up... :) BM> I hope so! We shall see... NB>>>> As the expressways have more traffic, more attention is paid to NB>>>> making sound abatement.... BM>>> True. We might also have the ability to allow for a greater distance BM>>> between the various interstates, etc., in the area and "then city": BM>>> side of the roads usually has a wide strip of land, sometimes just BM>>> grass and wildflowers, sometimes trees, which act to absorb some of the BM>>> road noise, as well as put a little distance between the noisy traffic BM>>> and our ears.

Ours is more like yours NB>>> than that of the big cities.... BM>> Yes, a city but not a CITY. There are probably some reading whose BM>> jaws dropped at my 12 minute commute to work - they spend 12 minutes BM>> getting out of their driveway! My "I-74 is going to be widened to BM>> three lanes" -- we have exits wider than that! NB>> I'm just thankful I'm not living in a CITY, like that.... ;) BM> As always it's all relative.

Was that meant to be a small deck jutting...? ;) True, it's relative, but even if raised in a big city, doesn't mean that the person is all that comfortable with it... may not know of anything different, but if given the opportunity, probably would appreciate the more open areas, at least in most cases.... :) BM>>>> Think how sometimes the planes sound mighty loud and/or seem BM>>>> way too low! Patterns do change for weather conditions, but sometimes BM>>>> one wonders if the pilot misunderstood or misread and is at 500 feet BM>>>> instead of 5,000! NB>>>> I do try NOT to wonder that way... much less disquieting that way... ;) BM>>> Why am I thinking along the lines of 'ignorance is bliss'?! NB>>> More along the lines of disasters aren't the norm, so no real NB>>> reason to worry... if they do happen, then there they are.... ;) BM>> Pretty much yes. The thought never goes beyond "gee they're flying BM>> lower thn normal" and into the 'OMG! '. Now that you BM>> brought it up (thanks? ) any flight emergency would probably BM>> attempt to land on I-74 a few blocks from here. NB>> You'd have a front row seat.... BM> Well, to everything but the landing: houses and trees blocking. Just as well... :) You might not want to actually see the landing, unless the pilot managed a safe one.... :) ttyl neb ....
