I don't know how folks in the city can get thru life without sirens to tell them when to get up, when to go to lunch, when to go back to work, and when to go home from work. They must have some electronic device they carry in one hand all day long so they know when to move. Too bad country folks don't have them things too.
Yes, I am talking to the village board members. Their theory is to keep doing things the same as the last 100 yrs. New thinking is beyond their realm.
Ok
I'm done.

Put the sneek on and disable it yourself. Then when it makes the news, all of us on T-man will know who it was and have a chuckle.

There'd be consequences for that.

If you can reach the siren a can of spray foam should be good for a couple peaceful days.Does it appear bulletproof?

Oh it's very accessible and I know what to do. I had some electrical training in Army and the firemen here can set it off remotely. Not going there though as that could bring prison time.

It's been here since about 1950...but the outhouses have been here longer than that. We should still use them too.

Maybe some grammar lessons. Imma blow the siren at midnight and 1:00. Anybody that don't like it can wear ear plugs.

I know it sucks for night shifters, it's hard enough to try and sleep during the day anyhow, at least it was for me when I was on it. I doubt you'll get very far having them change it. It's the same here and the town I live in is about 6000 people. I normally work 2p-10p so it's a non issue for me.
Good luck

Were you unaware when you moved where you did that this was a 80 year old custom? They blew the whistle at noon every day in all 13 towns in the county I grew up in and 40 years later your complaint is the first I ever heard of regarding this very popular tradition.

You think that's bad, you ought to try living 100 yards from a very active train track with a crossing less than half a mile away on either side. Morning, noon, and night, that whistle howled twice, every 30 minutes. You either learned to sleep through it.. or bought ear plugs.

You must be younger than I thought, because I assumed you were too old to be part of the the entitlement generation, but apparently not.

When I was growing up, the town fire dept blew the whistle at 6 pm and whenever the fire trucks were going out on a call. For the fire call it notified everyone that the trucks were going to come out of the station like bats out of He** onto a busy 4 lane. That made good sense and traffic would pull over at the sounding to avoid getting run over. I don't know the purpose of the 6 pm sounding but it let everyone set their clocks to a common time and may have been a daily test of the whistle. As I keep telling you, you will get nowhere until you find out why the whistle is being sounded and are able to show it is no longer valid. Go in to a town council meeting with facts. Keep them to yourself until the meeting. Chances are very good the town council members will not know the facts.
