Noises in my neighborhood

They’re redoing the apartment upstairs which has involved copious scraping of pipes and work with sanders. I’m certain they are refinishing the floors.  So I spend time thinking of places to be that are Out.

Naturally, this means that I am finding quiet spots for pastries only to discover I’ve arrived during the break. The quiet is not long for this world. Oh, no. Allow me to introduce you to my friend, the jackhammer.

Suddenly a sander sounds subdued.
