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.

Nope...this is a lektrik motor driven mounted on a windmill tower. 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.

Have they always blew the air raid siren or did they start it after you moved there? Someone already used that line I must’ve missed your answer. Still haven’t found it

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.

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.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.
