Things that interrupt my sleep.

So this morning at around 5:30am, I was awoken by an enormous boom.  At first, I thought it might have been thunder, but it sounded too metallic.  Then it happened again.  And once more.  So I dragged myself out of bed to look out the window and what do I see?  A dumpster delivery truck dropping off a dumpster across the street- at 5:30 in the morning.  If it was thunder, I wouldn't have really been able to complain, but aren't there laws against loud construction and deliveries before 7 am?  I know in Santa Barbara there are.

Motorcycles and their owners.

About a month ago, I was sitting in my room watching TV with the window open.  It was like 72⁰ outside, and the sun was setting behind the mountains.  Sounds nice right?  It was.  Until suddenly one of my neighbors starts up their motorcycle.  Normally I would just pause my TV and wait for the noise to stop and then continue my loafing.  Obviously no one had ever taugh this guy manners, because what does he do next?  Revs the engine. OVER AND OVER.  For almost a solid 2 minutes he sat in his driveway revving the engine on his motorcycle which must have had no muffler at all.  It was ridiculous.
