I would love to live next door to a tennis court because my husband and I like to play. The earliest I think we ever played though was 8 or 9 a.m. It is the cool part of the day. Perhaps that's why those ladies like to play SO early. Anyhow, I agree with you, they shouldn't. <br /><br />Stopping by for Karen's BBQ with some fried chicken and pop.Karen and Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234935499886839237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-87990630093917735852010-08-30T19:14:04.754-04:002010-08-30T19:14:04.754-04:00I'm so with Lola & 50 foot QE!

I would be tempted to put a lock on it and come back at 8am to unlock it.<br /><br />Or maybe if the police didn't respond to complaints I would go down with my camera and take pictures of the people and ask their names so that I could report them to the authorities.<br /><br />Sounds extreme but this kind of thing is just not ok. <br /><br />Remember that fellow writer in Bath who bought the historic house next to the parking lot and discovered to his dismay the sound of car doors slamming early in the morning? Ugh.<br /><br />I also think you should publish this story.<br />:)50 foot QEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697824892799344961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-66311320634295215942010-08-29T20:50:25.702-04:002010-08-29T20:50:25.702-04:00well, admittedly I did subject them to a little To...well, admittedly I did subject them to a little Tool/Lateralus and then some NIN/Pretty Hate Machine this afternoon;) <br /><br />now all I need is some loudspeakers...mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-17951413342134208542010-08-29T20:05:24.820-04:002010-08-29T20:05:24.820-04:00Bummer.
