I get that. When we have a cicada year (we have “17 year” cicadas) it can been absolutely maddening and it doesn’t stop for weeks. It’s almost unreal how loud they can get if there are a lot of them.

Tip:
Theres a product called Calmer. Little earplug wotists, supposed to reduce high frequency distortion. Ive tried them and they actually work.
Its subtle as hell, but it helps. Especially with cicadas, and shopping trips.

Like my wife before 10am?

This is why I never teach a class starting before 10am. No one should have to talk to me before that hour. I’m an under-caffeinated bear.

Just seeing a dumbass with a leafblower causes an involuntary will to commit murder. Using the leafblower as a bludgeon of course.
