Red face Sirens and "Jake-Brakes" for the Hearing-Impaired...

Before I bought my Florida lakefront place, I checked for traffic noise. Only a northeast wind would allow traffic noise to carry. So, shortly after I'd my ideal place in 1977, I was awakened at daybreak by a loud whistle; fortunately, the train only runs on Sundays!

Daybreak also brings out the duck hunters, but their hunting season dates don't overlap my stayovers.

The NC house was on the market for only a couple of days and they bought without seeing it in person. Sold the NH house in a few days too, with an 8% overbid.
Did they know Interstate I-77 runs through the middle of Lake Norman. Y'know, the "truck route"?
