The rest is silence.

People have lake houses as places to escape away and enjoy the peace and quiet, right? Well then why is it that a tiny lake is surrounded by a multitude of houses that are barely a few hundred feet apart form each other. Any ones noise will travel around and across to intrude upon everyone else. The children being children, teens being obnoxious, someone vacuuming, and the rather odd desire to drive ones motor boat around in the tiny little loop, constricted by the size of the lake, dogs, motorcycles, and on and on. Any only when you ignore all else do you then notice the simple chorus of crickets, their song drowned into nothing.
