woman smashes beeping surveillnce camera with baseball bat

I am writing my own headline because there's a neighborhood beeper going off and has not stopped in 48 hours. There's also a screaming roof vent when the wind blows. I love city living but I do use my ears to write, think and dream and these audible irritants are exasperating.

Luckily on my dog walk this afternoon I ran into the code enforcement building inspector sitting in his car writing up a grill on a porch on the North End. I stopped and introduced myself and told him about the two problems in my neighborhood which as it turns out, was HIS childhood neighborhood. He PROMISED to get the noise issues resolved.

Thank you, God of noise. When you work from home it's really hard to not be bothered by such things.

We had our boiler cleaned today and then a Dr. Appointment that was cancelled at the last minute after we arrived. 

Crazy day with warm weather.

I am making sourdough pretzels! But I just noticed my bench knife is missing. I searched my whole kitchen 10 times over, and then I called the people where I gave my last sourdough bread workshop in August in Barrington. Guess what? They have it! I have had that bench knife for 35 years. I am relieved.

Good night.
