bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

We live in Baltimore -- and, more specifically, on Baltimore's West Side, which is undergoing what is probably called "economic revitalization", but which really equates to "lots of goddamn traffic, roads torn up everywhere, and constant construction noise". A while back, fed up by construction starting at 6AM (on weekends, even) I bemoaned to my friends: Doesn't Baltimore have a noise ordinance?

Turns out they do. But you have to speak calculus to understand it.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

It's better than the Medevac helicopters, at least; the construction noise is generally rhythmic. But, you know, I'd kind of like the parking spaces in front of our building back sometime this century. Not to mention how they keep turning off our building's water. (Accidentally or by design.)
