(This tip from some friends that used to live at the T > intersection of Sayles Trl and Sun Valley Pkwy.) So, what's "appreciated" by people sleeping in is more important than safety? This is an utter red herring. Okay, I've never measured the following with a decibel meter, but they're in the ball park: Sound level of human yelling "CLEAR" = n approx. = sound of car engine revving up from a stop x 10 = sound of car horn, or diesel engine truck revving up from a stop, or a two-cycle mower engine x 10 again = sound of Harley revving up from a stop Given time, I can think of a score things happening within a block of my house that I don't "appreciate". I don't "appreciate" the use of lawn chemicals by those sleepers-in. I don't "appreciate" the burden they choose to put on this planet by breeding. I don't "appreciate" their resource consumption. In another reich, these might all be banned. As has been said, yes, the debate should be civil. But it should also be topical and reasonable, and expect the same of those on the "other" side of the issue. --------------------- NOTE: My Email has been haywire lately; if you have a reply, please send it to BOTH of the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paul T.
