left vs right

 I was truly perplexed today

    Jackie, Julia and I were going out to eat, meeting friends in DeKalb for Chinese.  (If you know  the area, you know the restaurant.)

    I put my hearing aids in and said to Julia, "What is that noise?'

    I swear, it sounded like a giant fan, like one of those used in animal barns to keep the air circulating and the animals cooler.

    She looked at me like I was nuts.  (I look I often get from people.).   The only noise she heard was the AC running.  (Hell, to be honest, it was galloping, not  just running.  Can't wait until 96 on Saturday. )

    I went to a different part of the house, the noise was even louder!

    Jackie did not her it.  Julia did not hear it.  Was I going crazy?  The noise was deafening!

    In search of an answer, I took out my hearing aids.

    I discovered I put the right aid in my left ear.

    Now, that is a big deal because the right one is programmed differently.  It magnify sounds much more that the left one.

    Once I put the thingies in their correct ears, the noise disappeared.  All I was hearing was the AC running, but at a much louder volume than I should have heard it.

    And dinner was great.

    Plus the Cubs won.  Whoever came up with the idea of selling big W flags sure hit the nail on the head.  Every game, there seems to be more and more coming out.

Peace and Love
