Old Settler's Insomnia

Yep....Old Settler's strikes again. You'd think that after living in Metamora for most of my life, I would get used to the fact that there will be horrible 'music' screeching and harmonizing with the shrieks of small and medium and some large people at midnight for four days in a row at the end of every June. But no, I completely forget every year that, not only does Old Settler's block off my street so I have to go around three blocks in the opposite direction to go home but also, the noise will permanently re-scar my eardrums. And it's the one time of year when you have to be careful about being mugged in Metamora. =)
