02:10 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
02:30 PM: Called the PA State Police to report the noisy motorcycle problem here at my home. At first, the fellow seemed disinterested, saying that they really can’t do much about loud motorcycles if they’re just driving down the road. So I told him that many bikers retrofit their motorcycles with pipes that make them extremely loud. I also asked if it was okay for a car to buzz around without a muffler. He then warmed up a little, saying no. I reminded him of the EPA vehicle noise standards, which many of the cyclists that pass by here are clearly breaking. Well, he took my name, and said that he’d see about how to help. I didn’t expect them to do much really, but just wanted them to know that this particular citizen (me) is troubled by this. Hopefully, other people are complaining as well. I may have to enlist my neighbors to call as well.
