Duh.

The melodious sounds of Neil Young are floating down my boulevard. Loudly.

Traffic's picked up in the 'hood. Cars coming and going. And going and coming.

My Merchant Marine neighbor is home.

(Psssst... that's Chris Robinson, best known for being the lead singer of the Black Crowes and the ex-husband of Kate Hudson.)

It all makes so much sense now.
