Going Totally Asian Subcontinental on Columbia Heights

Recently eaten: cheesy omelette on onion bun, blueberries, strawberries
Recent annoyance: crinkly dollar bills on the bus (don't hold them all crumpled in your hand, moron!)

Here is a law that is desperately needed in Columbia Heights:

Court Bans Horns, Loud Music
"Millions of Indians may sleep easier after the Supreme Court banned loud music, firecrackers and the honking of vehicle horns at night."

And here our own Supreme Court is all up in arms over ol' Sandy D when they should be passing stuff like this to benefit the millions of yuppies living in CH. I mean, come on, Willy, pull that straw out of your neck and do some good for the people!

"Health experts say noise pollution in India has emerged as a major cause of heart ailments and other stress-related diseases.

The nocturnal ban on firecrackers will curtail their widespread use at religious events and weddings and other social occasions.

In the Indian capital of 14 million people, which has more than two million vehicles, the noise level ranges between 60 and 90 decibels, compared with an official limit of 45 to 55 decibels.

During major holidays such as the Festival of Lights, or Diwali, the decibel level in New Delhi can touch 200.

This is considered life-threatening by the privately-run Centre for Science and Environment."

I also consider flaming bottle rockets whizzing past my delicate face to be life-threatening. I ain't just whistling Diwali.
