Okay, I think I have it figured out. You see, I have this issue with this mockingbird that sings outside my window all night long. Add to that the confused Rooster across the street and sleep is always difficult in coming. --By the way, its 2:30 in the afternoon at present and not a peep out of either one.--While I really can't do anything about the noise except find a shotgun--I guess a BB Gun would be just s as efficient--I have figured out why the Mockingbird sings. It's because of the Rooster! Last night, while I was lying in bed thinking of all the ways you can cook chicken, the Rooster stopped crowing. Lo and behold! The Mockingbird stopped singing. I had a short respite and almost dozed off but then it started again ARGH! What I think is that the Rooster (how he managed to get onto a night schedule I'll never know) wakes up the Mockingbird. This, in turn makes the Mockingbird think he's missed dawn (for the third time that night) and he starts singing like there's no tomorrow. But it's not tomorrow yet!
So, for now, I'll simply be thankful that I live in a place where I can still hear Roosters and Mockingbirds and the traffic on I-26 and just take a nap
