I made this photograph a dozen years ago. The performance was part of a music festival headlined by the Brussels Chamber Orchestra. My enthusiasm and Cary Citizen Press Pass allowed me to spend a lot of time in Cary Arts Center with them. A collaboration with NC Opera brought this Countertenor to a performance.
I’m a rough old cob but I had no idea a human voice could – you had to be there.
The gorgeous canopy of green above my townhome, provided by mature Red and White Oak, Beech and Long Leaf Pine, provides peace and serenity in a cacophonic world.
Except every !@#$% Thursday, all day, including after 5 PM, when the hideous drone of Stihl Backpack Blowers pierce my tinnitus like fingernails on a blackboard.
I’m a dog, locked in a room with a running vacuum cleaner. Except the dog isn’t paying HoA fees. God forbid, a leaf on a lawn!
Selling and moving soon and I will NOT miss Thursdays! Mother Nature knows a lot more than HoA’s. Ms Renkl has it right.

Nearly everything about how Americans “care” for their lawns is deadly, but these machines exist in a category of environmental hell all their own.
