Headsets from inbound flight and some George Strait or Metallica, depending upon mood.

After a trip to LAS I was curious...do those airport slots actually pay out? I did some online research and, IIRC, two progressive jackpots on the Wheel of Fortune machines were won at the airport. Go figure!

Well, I think the problem likely lies outside the house - if it's the neighbor tree, then :rolleyes: will be the result.

Have you checked the yards? Is any bubbling nastiness coming to the ground?

Sewer laterals aren't pressurized and are gravity fed - pushing through that much earth would have resulted in a sinkhole already. :eek:

My sewer line here is pressurized, and a pain, if not vented right it makes for really stinky huge 'backwash' ewwwwwwww

Correction - I live in an area where there's contoured land; of the over 100,000 people in town, just over 200 have pressurized lines due to being at the lowest possible point and having to pump uphill to the wastewater treatment plant.* My house is precisely 490 feet above sea level and 131 feet above the river which is .45 miles away (according to Google Earth).

* Note - having to pump uphill to the treatment plant means "lives in the floodplain".

At 57. Only my grief at the passing of an American icon :rolleyes: allows me to admit it, but I once saw Bambi Swayze dance accompaniment to Glen Campbell singing "Everyday Housewife." In Branson.
