Dog Day Evening

There's a dog barking below my window, no doubt tied to a parking meter while its owner(s) wander through Blockbuster looking for a video. This is particularly irksome because 1) the poor dog has been barking for 15 minutes and I can't hear myself think and 2) Blockbuster sucks, if they just went to the independent video store around the block they'd be supporting a neighborhood business, have access to many more selections (no censorship!), and be in and out of the store much more quickly. Oh, and their dog? would be tied up outside someone else's bedroom window.

(Nothing against dogs, mind you. It's some owners who make me want to scream.)
