This morning when I arrived a truck was parked across the street from my office. It wasn't marked, but because of a highway widening project the utility companies have been having workings in and out of the area for months. I wasn't too bothered by them until they got really loud. Thank goodness it only lasted a half hour.
I have visited larger cities... I've been in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Houston, Phoenix, Las Vegas and San Diego. I've had some fun and unique experiences in many of those cities, but as many times as I've visited a city today was an absolute first for.. me seeing someone use a jackhammer. I started to cross the street to watch. The funny thing is I though a jackhammer was for concrete, but they were digging in the dirt with a jackhammer. Oh course it occurs to me now, perhaps they were from the city and didn't know they would need a shovel cause we have no sidewalks.
In any case... it was crazy to see a jackhammer being used in my neck of the woods, so I just had to laugh.
Living at Lake Sinclair is a very peaceful life. The loudest noises I most often hear are frogs and crickets and the occasional buzz of a boat motor on the lake, the whistle of a train in the distance or of course my doggies bark if they see a deer or hear a noise outside that is unusual. If you would like to live in a quiet place... I can certainly help you find one. And if work keeps you in Atlanta during the week, but you'd love a weekend escape that is not too far of a drive I can help you with that too.
