Thanks for The Mystic.
One of my neighbors has a hound-type dog, the type whose bark is more of a long, mournful, and very loud wail. And we live in a mountain cove, which means that loud wail bounces off and around, and is amplified by, the surrounding walls of steep mountain sides. And when the dog gets started, it's constant, for very long periods of time.
So I'm listening to music; whether I really want to right now or not.
