A Request

Dear Alarm Companies,

Please stop using the same tone and cadence for your door alarms as the military uses for chemical weapons detectors.

I may have a bruise on my thigh from reaching for a pro mask that isn’t there. Yes, Pavlov was right, and good training lasts a lifetime.

    With my luck I would get an alarm that sounded like the Rocket Attack alarm….
