Yes, agree RNG, and our pastor reminds us occasionally to call the cashier by name (most of them have name tags) when we're checking out and ask them how they are doing, show interest... Often others are having a bad day and a caring voice can make a hugh difference for the positive.

Yesterday I mentioned my grand daughter's daycare issue, when my daughter was driving to the daycare to address the issue, she stopped to get a coffee, she was pretty stressed, not quite sure how she was going to handle the folks at the daycare. When she went to pay for her coffee, the guy behind her had already paid for it.. she starting crying, was a positive thing that likely changed her attitude for the better.

So, thanks to all of you that take time to care for others.

Veterans Day: This federal holiday falls on November 11 and is designated as a day to honor all who have served in the military. According to Military.com, Veterans Day began as Armistice Day to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918.
"In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans," the site says. "With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars."

car looked nice when delivered, tire place had ordered wrong Michelins so I have to go back there on Monday. Otherwise, lots of buttons to learn.
Rode nicely, vent wings added some wind noise which is unfortunate; they are really streamlined and I hoped they would be quieter. The aftermarket ones on my truck make less noise.

Not as nice a blue as some of the other blue girls here ,but better than I expected. Just a dash of weird purple in there. Inside which I had never seen was much nicer
than expected. Definitely gussied up the old hair shirt wagon.

HA, This is Texas - no zoning department no sound curfews. But I am letting every county official in the county that was affected and the county where the concert was know of the unacceptable disturbance. I have already spoken to the promoters. I don't think they need permits but they do hire the local and county police officers for security- there's my in. Today the county offices are closed so I will start again Monday. A round of county officials will open up their phone to my text message Monday morning. Don't mess with Texas's peaceful nights.

A few letters to the editors of local papers couldn't hurt either. I'm sure you're not the only one that didn't like it, and elected officials tend to be sensitive to wide spread criticism.

Don, some of these large fair venues have fixed stages, but one would think they would "aim" the noise in the direction of the least number of people.
I know you don't live on the wide open prairie...but I wonder if they could have lessened the public impact by a little noise engineering. If I was hearing noise from more than a mile or two away, I think I'd be upset too. Not some neighbor's daughter's wedding party...
