anonymo August 13, 2005 Share anonymo Member August 13, 2005 So, like most people, I am asleep early Saturday morning. I'm a light sleeper, so at about 5:40 this morning I am awoken by some men yelling on the street. (I live in a 3rd storey apartment on a main street in downtown Montreal) As it was nearly a quarter to 6 and, quite obviously a Saturday, I forced myself to go back to sleep. Moments later I'm asleep again, and about a minute after that...BANG!! BANG!!! Now as a Canadian you might think I'd have difficulties determining the source for these loud bangs, but no! I know exactly what it was, and the fact that the police were there within 2 minutes just confirmed the fact that someone was shot (at) just outside my apartment. I was convincing myself that I was wrong and that it must have been something else, but the second I heard the sirens and saw the flashing lights I knew it...needless to say I never got back to sleep. Now I bet Norguard has a handful of stories like this...I heard my first gunshots ever while in the neighbourhood in Toronto in which he currently resides, which is a funny and very tragic story that I'll save for another time...

*BiGBonES** August 13, 2005 Share *BiGBonES** Member August 13, 2005 I got woken up this morning by 3 chain saws cutting down some trees. I moved to another bedroom in the house furthest away from the noise, then the phone kept rining all morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laz.e.rus August 14, 2005 Share Laz.e.rus Member August 14, 2005 Fire alrams..the city one followed by the trucks. Out here in the great northwest... EVERYTHING BURNS!! Its so dry and hot, there is hundreds of firefighters (smokejumpers) on call all the time. It happens everyday. The other day we lsot 20000 acres to one fire...and it rained a little which saved a whole lot more. Theres signs all over that say : Todays Fire Level : Low/med/high.

Norguard August 15, 2005 Share Norguard Member August 15, 2005 ...yeah, a couple of those stories, Anon. I was on the phone with my roomie, as there were gunshots going on behind him... ...he did think they were fireworks... ...then again, he was kinda new to the whole city thing... Not pleasant at all. None in the morning, though. Those are the firetrucks. Nothing woke me up this morning. I've been getting 3 hours a day for the past week, and the kicker was going to bed at four, and getting up at six-thirty, being on my feet all day, looking after a sick friend on her birthday, and going to bed at three. ...needless to say, I was given the day off from playing at church, and I slept well into the afternoon.

Brillow_Head August 16, 2005 Share Brillow_Head Member August 16, 2005 Was deployed at an air base in Turkey over Christmas break. Doing the military thing meant long hours every day, all week. Christmas day was the one of the only days we got off durring my two week trip. Was sooo looking forward to sleeping in. NOT!! The US only leases the air base from Turkey...and on Christmas day, the Turkish military had their Operational Readiness Inspection. This meant that starting at about 3AM, the sirens and base wide P.A. system went off about every twenty minutes, all day. Worst part, I dont understand Turkish, for all I know they could have been saying..."we dont get to sleep so you wont either." But I doubt it.

dwEEziL August 17, 2005 Share dwEEziL Member August 17, 2005 I went with a group from school to France over the summer one year. We landed in Switzerland and was staying there for a day then bussing to France. Cuz of jet lag and all, I took about a 2 hour nap after arriving at the hotel and it was probably around 10am when I was awoken to a garbage man in the alley under my window singing at the top of his lungs.
