A few months ago, we got new neighbors. Very quickly they built a tall wooden fence to provide an enclosed area for their three dogs. It is not a very large area. The dogs bark endlessly at all hours of the day and night. They are just across our row of trees, next door. The barking drives me crazy!
As a retiree who spends a lot of time at home, I am actually accustomed to quiet. I do not turn the television on during the day. I do not listen to the radio. I simply work in a comfortable silence! Or at least, I used to!
This morning I decided that I had to do something! The barking sound is so annoying. I am not even sure they take the dogs inside during the cold winter nights.
I remembered that our cable options include some music stations. I found the right numbers to plug into the remote. There are about 50 stations. I have never really identified a genre of music that I would consider "my kind of music", so I started exploring. The first thing that came up was Classical (as in famous composers). Definitely not for me. I lasted about thirty seconds before I figured that out!
Then there was pop, rap, jazz, and finally, then I found MY sound---classical country, much to my surprise! It is calm and comforting! They are mostly old songs from the past, and somewhat familiar! I should have know that I am a country girl! (Because I am so NOT a city girl!)
The challenge of the moment is, I am not sure exactly what channel it is on! Don't know if I can easily find it again. The number doesn't display anywhere are over 50 of them to go through!
