I see (and hear) that the college kids are returning. This complex is live is is composed of 8 buildings of 4-plexes (2 up, 2 down). On the other side of me, and in both upstairs apartments are college kids. Males, and fraternity boys. They get a little noisy sometimes, but not for long. And it's good-natured noise. In the building across the way, two apartments are tenanted by college kids.
As for the silent night, for at least two nights I was the only one home in the building facing me, my building, and the building behind me. While I enjoyed the outside quiet and my own music (and musings), it did seem a little lonely.
Well, everything's back to normal. I have to go exchange a gift I gave to the little boy across the way from me. It's the 3rd of that particular toy that he received, so I told his Mom I'd get a gift certificate in exchange and let him pick out his own toy. He's almost 3, so he should have fun. If he can make up his mind which one he wants.
That's it for now. Y'all have a great weekend. Be safe.
