Hello!
Today I want to discuss noise. Yesterday I used computer to read about soundproofing.
There are web sites & people devoted to the subject.
Do you know if you mask one sound another one will take its place? For example, if you eliminate a barking dog you might hear a baby crying.
If I could afford to have my whole house soundproofed I would still be assaulted by noisy motor vehicles when I step outdoors. Now I don't enjoy walking to library, p.o., supermkt., & hardware store because traffic is noisy, & I have to look both ways at intersections before running across streets.
Do all new jobs involve motors & noise? Are they all created for men? Are any new jobs being created for quiet & creative people? Most women don't want to drive trucks or pound nails. Where are the jobs for women's college graduates? English majors? single women who depend on salaries for housing, food, utilities, & clothes?
Hot weather continues in northwestern Vermont. I better make ice now to keep lunch at dept. store fresh tomorrow.
Bye
