Most of the time, living by the base is no problem. We love the better "class" of people than the city -lots of very responsible, reliable people who care.
However - we just had our fifth consecutive night of night artillery practice. Shakes the whole house with it's concussion. (Think dozens of huge firecrackers every night.) It's only a a few days a year, but boy, do I need sleep! And, of course, here comes DS at 6:15 on Saturday morning - fully rested and chipper.... he slept right through them again. Kind of insult to injury, ya know???
