No, it's my fault. Went from reminiscing about sounding fire sirens as a test of emergency warning systems, which I don't hear anymore, to reminiscing about church bells, which I also don't hear anymore and really miss.
I was just kidding Jeff! People can talk about whatever they want to in here! I'm just happy to have the company!
Something else I remember about my church. With all those bells ringing, they got really LOUD as we walked up to the church, but once we got inside, they weren't very loud at all. You could still hear them, but you could also hear all these strange dull pounding sounds. I think the pounding noises probably came from the mechanism swinging the bells.
Yes, I miss church bells too. Especially during Christmas and Easter!
