As of 9:10 p.m., the upstairs neighbor has begun playing music or TV loud enough for me to hear again. I can hear it even better when I go outside and around to the back of the building. I can hear the noise directly above my apartment, so I know it's no one else.
Now I don't know if this is somehow related, but earlier today, I saw a young man, maybe in his mid 20s to early 30s (and looking grouchy) leading a couple of girls upstairs. When I say "girls", we're talking high school at most, and definitely jailbait. Mr. Grumpy was talking about them watching a movie tonight. This trio was going upstairs to the building I live in.
I would try reporting this to the Farmers Branch Police Department (FBPD), but they've made it rather plain with their new policy: 1) First call -- cops never show to talk to me, 2) Second call -- cops show up to talk to me, take a few personal details, but do jack squat. I think if I do call them, it'll be to tell them I've blogged about their ineffectual "law enforcement" again.
Better yet, I think maybe I should contact the Chief of Police and let the Chief know.
9:26 p.m., and the sound from upstairs is getting louder. And I'm starting to suffer a headache as a result.
