Sirens
Is it just me, or are there more police cars, ambulances, and/or fire engines with their sirens blaring these days?

I've just about reached the tinfoil-hat stage of believing that THEY do this deliberately to keep us all on edge...

1. YOU are falling into the scared
for your life tactic...

My husband I discussed this the other night, We are now Ultra sensitive to hearing planes when they go over our house and such.
Kind of makes my skin crawl.

2. I've always heard airplanes
I grew up in the neighborhood of an air force base. Now I live in the flight path from Logan Airport. That I'm used to.

It's the sirens, and what the sirens represent. If there's a fire truck going by, does that mean there's a fire? Or is Somerville experiencing a rash of false alarms-- which implies a whole different sort of civic breakdown?
