Up early by choice, sorta. I’m making the buffalo chicken dip for a thing at work on Tues (with extras for us) so I had to get the chicken cooked. Since it cooled a bit and I had the windows open, I decided to get on it first thing. Unfortunately, it was warmer in the house and getting stuffy, so I had to close things up and turn on the air. With the oven on. ☹ Oh well… I woke up at 3:30 because, well, I’m old, and that’s what old people do - pee in the middle of the night. Anyway, as I groped my way in the dark back to my side of the bed, trying to avoid the zoo on the floor, I saw lights moving across the wall, signifying the neighbors driving up their driveway. Recall that I had the house open. Shortly after that, I heard loud voices arguing. The words were indistinct, but the voices were obviously one male and one female, and she sounded like she was also wailing or boo-hooing or something. I lay there thinking “OK, if I hear shots or other sounds of violence, I’m dialing 9-1-1.” But they apparently took their argument inside, and it didn’t sound violent - just very angry. A few minutes later, I think I heard a car start up, but I may have dozed off and dreamed that. Anyway, I didn’t sleep too soundly after that. It’s overcast, and it feels like it wants to rain. I need to do laundry today - no line drying for me, I guess. \*\*FCD \*\*and daughter are going to be putting formica on her lab tables so she can take them back to school next week. Yep, another exciting day at FairyChatEstates. \*\*kopek \*\*- KD isn’t to horribly far from me (maybe 90 minutes or so) but it is a bit far for a quick meet-and-greet. Exactly where are you going to be and when and for how long? I’m sure there was more I wanted to say, but it’s still early and I haven’t had any caffeine yet… --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/duct-tape-floats-spinning-and-weaving-turkey-legs-a-state-fair-mmp/549695)._
