Network and cable TV is for the most part astoundingly bad, I can't believe people voluntarily watch it.

Newman-Os are the way to go. Fig Newmans, too, they taste like Fig Newtons used to, back when they were good.

Dave's right about the meter work. You'd need to desolder the cap or otherwise take it out of the circuit to do any good measurements on it. Off hand, I'd say it's a lube issue / mechanical.

Call the plumber, they'll bring out the big snake and fix it up. If there are roots now and you don't plan to replace the pipe, just plan on calling the plumber annually to clear it out. No big deal.

Build a box. Line it with carpet / other sound deadening. Make sure it has some degree of ventilation. Probably about as much work as fabbing up a new exhaust, but better results.

Once you know what to listen for, pitch correction is EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about that deliberately overdone style, I mean in "normal" pop music. It's nauseating.

Terrific collection of pics! But I'm -so- glad not to live in that festering hive. :) And just think, the edges of the metro area have metastasized even further in the last 40 years... Yeah, yeah, I know, progress and all that. Driving from Manhatten to Montauk, I ponder on the difference...

This is rubbish. No way we should pay tax of any kind on inheritance, IMO. Isn't there a generally-practiced way to avoid the government's thieving hand through a trust and so forth?

WEAR PROTECTION Plugs plus muffs is good, fitted plugs are great. As a classical musician in the wind section, I've been exposed to far too much noise for more than 20 years. Even as a fairly young man, I have a small deficit in the range that's normally first affected; tinnitus, too. Gotta be...
