Ok. For the past few days there have been these incredibly and I mean incredibly loud booming, exploding noises somewhere in the vicinity of our house. When outside, one can hear a faint horn signal that this is about to happen, but it's raining. And cold. I am not opening the windows. The exploding is likely some building project using dynamite to blast rock. I feel like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. And I wish they would stop.
