The madness of inconsiderate, rude, disrespectful persons, specifically the ones building the house next door. This madness has been going on for nine months now. It appears to me to be symptomatic of a culture in decline, although of course this isn't the only symptom; just the one close to home (TOO CLOSE!) these days. Is this just the madness of an old fart (me) trying to overlay some ethics from a bygone era onto a new generation? Alas, could be so. One thing for certain, there's no shortage of madness out there in this crazy old world.
So now, it's the madness of cramming ear plugs into my ears to try and block out the insane noise making machinery as i try to get some sleep before yet another days (nights in my case) labors. La dee da.
