So there's this big relay race. It's pretty awesome! I just want to make that clear. It's really long, and a portion of it goes by my house. This is not new, and last year was fun. Support vans and random cheering is fun!
This year... People decided to camp out directly outside my window to cheer the runners. Again, this wouldn't bother me... But nooooo, they couldn't leave it at that. They have the stereo in their van on FULL BLAST to some of the worst techno, and profanity filled rap (very residential area, little kids everywhere), and generally bad music. They also have cowbells. And it's not like this is a parade route, there are no other spectators as far as I can see. It's just this one group.
They spent a while talking about horse d*cks, not sure why.
My cat is hiding under the bed. I've had to shut all my windows, thanks for that. Anyways, it makes me feel like a giant grouch, and I suppose I am. Feel free to compare me to an old crotchety woman, it's okay. It's just one day a year. I had actually been looking forward to it, it's nice to see people out being active and generally doing something cool. But it's hard to enjoy when this group is acting like drunken teenagers.
ETA: That group left! Another group almost immediately replaced them, one house down, so not directly in front of my windows. They have no music and are using tambourines along with cheering. They are so much better, I want to hug them, and I'm not a hugger.
