Default Train noise block

They need about a four inch long sliver of wood from an evergreen cedar.
Ram that deep into each ear.


Think you've been drinking too much tea.

When we were looking for a house to buy about five years ago, we found a
beauty, four bedroom, detached garage with complete workshop, a spare
outbuilding big as a lot of peoples' homes, a nice chunk of property all
around, for about one-fourth the usual going price -- we could've got a
mortgage for a couple hundred a month. Just before we said out loud, "Why
is this amazing place so cheap?" the train roared through, making sure to
blow its whistle full blast so it wouldn't be mowing down the children
children mashing pennies on the track.


The way you've planted on your present homestead you probably could have
sheltered that property too. I still remember putting pennies on the tracks.
That was 55 or 60 years ago. Now I walk into the garage and forget what I
walked in there for.
