People in Italy and Spain sing opera from building to building and that's the best we can come up with???
They started across the street tonight.
I replied with the loudest, juiciest fart I have given birth to in several months...It actually shut them up for a good 20 secs! [Coffee]

Okay, that explains what the neighbors behind have been doing the past couple of nights. Drives the dog nuts.

...which drives us nuts. Who started this and why?

It's for solidarity for medical workers. I like it. I think we should do more things like that.

I'm going to start one where everyone who is against pedophilia can show what side they're on by using their turn signals in traffic and turning on their headlights during inclement weather.

I occasionally howl but only to get the princess riled up or answer the coyotes. Probably not the same as howl as med supporters.

This doesn't bother me one bit. Rituals are good for people, this is a good way for many to get their stress out, and build some solidarity with the neighbors. I rate this as a good thing in my book.

Since this has something to do with the medical profession, maybe they need their own ?line?.

The blue line shows support for law enforcement.

The red line shows support for firefighters.

Maybe doctors and nurses need a white line?

Of course that could be twisted into some sort of racist thing I suppose. Or maybe something to do with cocaine.

Now that I know what it was, I just let the dog bark back at them. Our rule is 'no bark after dark' for the sake of our neighbors, but if they're asking for it, they can deal with it.

I'm also hearing fireworks in the neighborhood at 8pm.

My wife, a Nurse, first told me of this and commented how stupid it was.

After looking into it and telling her what it was for, she said, "Still stupid."

To me, it's partly just more virtue signalling with little substance. Just another stupid tide pod challenge.

However, if people need to do something to make them feel better and show appreciation, go for it. Don't expect everyone to join in, and don't assume that nonconformists are not appreciative.

Ive 10+ kiddos that live on my block that are enjoying the novelty for a minute or two & that's fine, fun even & I'm glad folks are trying to keep their spirits up however... I suspect the hipsters with the horn doing it for 20+ minutes each night wouldn't like my noisemaker.

FWIW, while also somewhat virtue signalling but with a tangible benefit, wife is much more appreciative of any business that lets first responders and health care workers jump the line (Costco) or offers real goods. They're getting one meal per day at the hospital.

People that don't work shift work or fucked up hours don't even think about it, but the very people they are howling for, are the same people just trying to squeeze out an extra hour of sleep SOMEWHERE in their day/night. But alas, shift work has caused me to hate loud stereos and exhaust systems to, I'm now a grumpy old man I guess.

Feel lucky they're not doing it at an actual first responder typical shift change @7PM.

At least that's what my ex-Paramedic wife told me. Same one that's a Nurse and thinks what they are doing is dumb. But hey, if it makes you feel good.

A thought just occurred, not directly related, but...

What superstitions were to the greatest generation and older - that's been wholly replaced by virtue signaling today. There's few, if any superstitions that are broadly kept now, but if you don't participate in virtue signaling, you receive the same kind of scornful looks and shaking heads as if you walked under a ladder outside a restaurant in 1935. For both, there's a few people that never participate in any of it, and there's a few people that feel obligated to participate in all of it, practically getting a chip on their shoulder for "saving someone's life today", and then a lot of people in between.

Bailey Guns

My ex, the RN, said she hadn't heard of the howling thing up in ID. She didn't seem too excited about the idea...also thought it was silly. She said she'd prefer people just don't do so much stupid shit that made her job harder. "That would be a lot more helpful...if people weren't stupid." Her words. Almost sounds like she was married to a cop for 3 decades.

I caught wind from some co workers that the Costcos are pretty well stocked now, and they are allowing medical and first responders to come in at certain times, I foresee a Coscto run in our future.

We've been doing it off and on, mostly when we are just hanging out with the kids on the deck after dinner. It seems a bit hokey at first, but I do think there is a value to creating some sort of solidarity as a community. The Italians make it look classy, but they have the advantage (in this regard) of living close enough together to be able to make music--and, they have talent! That being said, I wouldn't want to live in apartments ("flats") like that. I broke out my coyote howler and it set my dog off. He started howling--and looking very confused and anxious!

Not to derail too much, but are you happy with your electric lawnmower? I have a 10 year old Honda gas mower that works well enough, but I am tired of dealing with gelled gas, rough idle, and the general noise when doing a task I absolutely hate (mowing the lawn). Wondering if electric is any better.

Yep, really happy with it. It came with a 'universal' type blade that is supposed to be good with mulching and bagging. It was weak on the bagging side so I replaced the blade with their higher lift blade and it works much better.

I went with this unit after watcing a bunch of reviews on YouTube and scanning the Interwebs: https://egopowerplus.com/21-inch-self-propelled-mower/

Extremely low maintenance and stores compactly. It's so light and rolls so easily I don't use the self-propelled feature much, but with my bad back, it helps pull the mower out of some awkward spots as I'm turning and shhhtuff. I paired it with their carbon fiber string trimmer and leaf blower. The batteries are all interchangeable. I haven't tried mowing with a 2.5 Ah battery instead of the 7.5 Ah that it came with, but I could. I'm thinking about buying their snow blower at some point, if we don't end up moving for a couple more years.

The only quirk that they have is that there is a slight lag when you engage the triggers on the string trimmer and leaf blower. I think they did it as a safety feature in case you bump the trigger, but my trigger finger is my safety. ;-) I kind of have an expectation of immediacy with electric.

First time I've ever seen that video too ... don't think it did anything for the song. Whoever conceptualized it needed to sober up first and think about what they were trying to do or say with the video. I don't understand most of the choices of footage from the movie as they had nothing to do with the mood or lyrics of the song.
