Unexpected Challenges of House Sitting

[Undertoad]

Oh. Monthly test on the first Monday. okay. hopefully the heart rate will come down soon.

My local siren went off at 3pm on a Tuesday one day. The neighborhood was otherwise quiet. I put the dog in the car and drove off, listening to news radio, wondering if the highway would be backed up with other cars headed for zee hills. The highway was clear. I drove to the next siren location that I knew of. That siren was off.

Now what? A) 2000 people within range of that siren and not a single fuck was given that day. B) how does this not mean the siren system is not worth paying attention to if it goes off randomly?
