Sunny Sunday afternoon; 79(F) outside. Birds chirping, doves calling,
an occasional bark from one of the neighbors' dogs, and in the distance,
the sound of light traffic. Occasionally an airplane.

Yikes! Where do you both live where it's that unbearably hot in
January? I only ask so I can avoid that part of the world like the
plague. I'll sit here happily with my 30F outside/50F inside, thank
you.

LOL. In the 50s, overcast, our creek is running near full with normal
rushing water sounds. No traffic sounds, no airplane sounds, no need
for headphones. Cardinals, bandit birds, a funny little brown bird
that has the shape of a flying golfball, a couple of squirrels trying
to avoid joining family in the freezer. Gorgeous green mosses and
reddish brown fungus on the dead tree branches.

I dont either, and I dont bother to do anything special to ward them off.

Its likely some medical effect.

I used to, but it stopped once I was about 25 or so.

I inspected roughly half of the roofing from inside the attic, and it
appears that they did tear off all of the old plywood, and put in new
OSB on the whole roof. Also, evidently they took off the DirecTV dish,
and then screwed it back on, down into the new shingles.
