Visited Houston last week and stayed with a friend. Before heading to the bar, I showered in the upstairs bathroom. While enjoying the wonderful fragrance of their vanilla jasmine body wash, I heard a strange sound coming from the bedroom next door. Sounded like an alarm. I knew I was the only one upstairs and wondered why an alarm would be set. But the noise continued for several minutes, making me wonder if I had accidentally set an alarm on my phone for some reason.
I finished my shower, exited the bathroom and discovered no sound whatsoever emanating from anything upstairs. I was confused. And naked. So I dressed, put stuff in my hair to give it the messy look I go for these days and left for the bar with my friend, where we heard his wife perform with her country music band. At the bar I asked my friend if he had any alarms set upstairs, or if his a/c unit had an alert that went off to change filters or something. He told me he knew nothing of an alarm upstairs, and was as confused as I was.
The next day we sat on his couch, fighting off two rambunctious dogs while trying to enjoy coffee when I heard the strange alarm again. It went off, radiating clearly throughout the entire house. I looked curiously over to my friend and said, "Hey, that's the sound I heard! What is that?"
He said, "That's my telephone ringing..."
