What, no lava lamp?

Sounds like a nice listening space. Being undisturbed so that you can concentrate while listening is important.

Yes you did but, that's ok. It's better than being a week ahead of Labor Day! After all, we are GOF's and very forgiving of all but those who won't get off our lawn.

I was so happy when the nearby universities announced only online classes this fall, exceptions are medicine and dentistry. Last winter when covid hit, all the students went home. I can't tell you how nice it was.

Well, it turns out that the students are all back. They want to experience school life, so we should all suffer for their benefit. The universities are streaming the courses, there are some limited organized activities. The only difference is now they just remotely attend class. With all the extra free time, they are having more off campus parties, are out screaming on the streets till after 4AM, and a making general nucences of themselves. The law says, wear a mask in buildings, malls, busses, etc. or face large fines. Many don't, there isn't any enforcement that I can see.

IT'S WAY WORSE THAN IT USED TO BE!!!!!!

One day, when I was feeling down in the dumps, a little voice came to me, saying "Cheer up! Things could be worse". So I cheered up and sure enuff, things got worse.:bag:

Well, it turns out that I was dead wrong. The students are all back, they want to experience school life. The universities are streaming the courses, there are some limited organized activities. The only difference is now they just remotely attend class.

I would not say they are a nuisance. It is far worse than that. Their actions demonstrate no regard for the health and welfare of those around them. It is time they are held accountable for their actions.

I am sick and tired of being locked up in my home to protect myself from their stupidity. They are old enough to know better and be accountable. The same goes for their parents who are supposed to be responsible adults...

There is a great deal to be said for actual contact with other people in whatever bodies they inhabit, especially as part of an education. And insofar as I've ever seen, music is best played with others. (of a like mind, there's a trick there.)

Certainly I know people who are crowd intolerant the way some are gluten intolerant. In the day, the Los Angeles Street Scene was maybe the only place in the entire city where it was possible to actually intermingle closely with other Los Angelinos. My private belief, held in reserve until now, is the troubles that came to be associated with the Street Scene came from much higher up than we were lead to believe. There were scrappy newspapermen around, but knowing where to find their work was a bit of a knack.
