An Announcement for Deaf Ears
This morning at about five in the morning I was awakened by a very loud siren's tone slowly rising and falling, rising and falling for what seemed like forever. Evidently its source wasn't moving very quickly. After a while the siren gave way to loud music which, due to the Doppler effect, was just an odd mash of instruments and voices. Next came indiscernible Spanish words over a loudspeaker over the music. It seemed to go on this way for about half an hour. After that, I heard the siren again which FINALLY worked its way off into the distance.
I really wished I had a bullet for whatever PA it was coming from. If only.

If you are not too rummy from lack of sleep, there is a request for you here: http://chapmankids.net/blog/?p=1050
Thank you for the entertaining blog. It is wonderful to experience your trials vicariously (as I sit in the comfort of Tigard in front of my nice computer). Anyhow, just remember that those trials breed perseverence, etc. and you are accumulating some amazing memories and friendships.
I will keep you in my prayers.
Charlie - you're sounding like an old man with this story! The only thing missing is you screaming out the window, shaking your fist in the air, "I'll get you, you pesky kids!"
Have a great day!
