Drives me absolutely crazy to be sitting in the quiet and peacefulness of my home and have my solitude shattered by the vibrating bass and noise of a car that is still half a mile away. No wonder "huh" has become a frequently used response by so many people. They really can't hear anything!
Growing up and to this day, my mother has always used a phrase that is a turn around of another, "Time Wounds All Heals". Amen! I think it is also referred to as karma. I got to experience it happening on the street by my house late last night. It was awesome!
Pictures shaking on my wall, windows rattling and the vibration from the bass of an approaching car, then an engine sputter and screech to a stop as he turned the corner, smoke and steam coming from under the hood - that was the scene and the sound late last night. Poor guy, revved that engine up one too many times, probably couldn't hear the sputtering and crucial noises coming from it, because, bless his heart, he's deaf you know. I swear I heard him say "huh" to the wrecker driver. I just grinned and went back to my book and the quiet stillness of my home. No more noise, no more bass, no more vibration. Awe. Time Really Does Wound All Heals!
