I know, the windows are open, she probably heard something at one of the neighbors. Will find out in the morning when its light out.

We have a project behind us on the next hill separated by woods. Always hearing gunshots and wonder where they come down at.

When we first moved here 24 years ago we weren't in the city and that project wasn't there.

We sit between I74 and I474 about 2 miles East and West. Late at night we can hear the traffic. There are two railroads about 1/4 mile to our West, BN&SF and Union Pacific.
Its nice to have the windows open and hear the trains.

If we come right down to it, we probably have more in common than we would think.

For instance, I've walked on the deck of the US Constitution and I'm sure you have to.

My grandmother lived in New York City and we would visit often. It was on one of those trips in 1953 that they took a side trip to Boston.
