  1. Attention westgate homeowners
    It might be a good investment to purchase noisemakers it can be used all year round to keep the garbage truck noise quiet out of your houses as well. As the houses are built out of the same material as the sukkos are built out of!!!

    1. Attention people of westgate and everywhere:

      There's always so much to kvetch about!

      *I have a house, in a completely Jewish neighborhood - but the building material could have been better.

      *My garbage gets picked regularly, without issues. It doesn't cause extra, crazy traffic when the kids are on the way to school and adults on the way to work, like the NYC garbage trucks. But it may wake me up for netz hachamah.

      And so much more to kvetch about. Always.

      Hopefully many, many, many of us will enjoy zman simchaseinu and be grateful about it!
