>>10659954Oh...I meant to tell you this one:
Methinks fireworks may have arrived here.
Last night I heard them from over yonder...which, believe me, seems to be from a place only a few hundred yards from the far back of my property's roadside spectrum...where NO DWELLINGS appear to exist. Very close, but hidden on an upper hillside road?
I had dismissed the occasional nightime fireworks just to the west of me until last night, seemingly coming from a little home that rests upon a very short sidestreet on the other side of the two fallen homes which lay between us.
Last night, especially from the west, at one point it sounded like an arsenal had caught on fire. A prolonged cacophony of loud bursts which, now, I can finally start putting into a preliminary bit of perspective on having heard it.
Without any doubt, the sound would obscure others.
What just came to me:
We have a train which comes through here maybe twice a day.
Stay with me on this.
In the two years that I have been here it had only run in one direction...~ from the NNW, then taking a turn atound south to proceed ~ESE.
HOWEVER, two mornings ago, I finally heard what sounded like a very long train, coming from the opposite direction, in a long auditory approach before even reaching here.
I might say heavily burdened due to its much lower sound, except, the opposite might be true, IF it was what I perceived it to be: military transport. (We are in such a frame of mind, lately.)
I'm just not really versed in what the Weight v. Sound difference might be between usual cargo transport, and that of more vehicle loads.
Take what you will from it, but as I write this, and, knowing my town's usual sleepy nature...
>...now I must wonder if ▪a train derailing▪ might be in the works?Yikes. I wouldn't even know WHO to bring my concerns to.
Maybe one of our UnknownAnons could look into this a bit?
