Sympathy

This week's Illustration Friday challenge is 'Sorry'. Now, the original title of this cartoon was 'Sympathy' , but sorry and sympathy are pretty close so I'm making a judgement call in favor of the home team. :-D

You would think that with all the super technology we have, cars would be quieter. Nope. Between shoddy mufflers and booming stereos and muttering motors we have a noise pollution problem from our vehicles. Some of it is based on a lack of funds from the car owners to repair chronic noises, that's understandable if you are a starving artist or some such.

But there are a lotta new cars and trucks that almost make your ears bleed from the racket they make. So please, next time you are near a school or hospital or nursing home, turn down the base speakers and slow the growling engine. Do the same in front of my house, too.

Thank you.
