Subject:Early morning pickle ball
Tim,
Although I am not a fan of the constant thwacking noise of the new pickleball courts, I tolerate it as I can tell
people are really enjoying themselves with their shouts of joy and anguish of flubbing a shot. It looks fun and I
hope to learn to play it someday.
The reason for this letter is the hours they play. Several mornings I hear the loud disrupting ping ponging at
6:30am, all the way until 10pm, sometimes even later! As you know, I work from home and my kids are home
schooling, and as it is located nearly in my backyard, it never stops. Like the constant construction and recent
road repair on Marina Drive, it's very loud and disturbing, yet I know those will eventually cease and they also
have the decency to wait until 7am to start and are always done and gone by 5pm or earlier.
Something needs to be done to control these pickle freaks playing too early or too late. I thought you should
know as it really has hit a tipping point for me. Caitlin had to refrain me this morning from going over there in
my pajamas and giving those boys a piece of my mind. If this continues, I will next time!
Meanwhile, I have that wonderful Sega Palm tree that needs a new home. Feel free to stop by any time and
check out the tree and hear for yourself the high decibel shouts and smacks that my family and I get to
experience in literally every waking moment of my every day..
