RE: I need quiet.

It seems a lot of people who move from the city to the country think anything goes, and don't pause to reflect on the impact their actions bring on their neighbors.

Yes, we shoot guns here. But we make sure we have a safe backstop, and we generally go somewhere outside the neighborhood unless there is an urgent pest control situation.

Yes, we drive off-road vehicles, dirt bikes, quads, etc. But not generally on neighborhood streets. Keep it slow and quiet if you must drive or ride where people live. 5 or 10 acres is not "acreage." Your neighbors don't want the noise and dust of your recreational machines.

I think if these folks are used to city life, they don't hear how disruptive the noise is.

I see what you mean. Maybe these people aren't really aware of the impact their behavior/actions are having on their own system and welbeing? Personally, I realized when I was at my most obnoxious, it was due to a profound disconnect within myself. The more you understand how you're impacting yourself, the more mindful you become, so maybe these people aren't setting out to bother, but are just...disconnected? :)

You only hear the noise when you understand the quiet. I hope your week has quiet :)
