honk if you love hampden

It's 3:30 a.m., and someone just drove down my street honking. Brief honks, not quite staccato, in clusters of 4 or 5.

My street is very skinny, and it doesn't really go anywhere. Most people who drive down it pull aside somewhere along it and park. But I could hear this person honking all the way at the bottom of the street.

Whatcha doin' here, Paul Revere? Was that an alert? And if so, for what? Or was it just kids being obnoxious? (Not unlikely, as my awkward pimply years involved driving around with a megaphone and a megawatt spotlight with a lighter adapter. You haven't seen anything until you've seen a suburbanite's face as her McMansion's living room is suddenly awash in a bright, passing light.)

Maybe it was Santa. Maybe he ditched the reindeer and started rocking an El Camino.
