::DOUBLESHOT::

This evening, I heard two gunshots in quick succession directly across the street. A few seconds later, I heard two more. And two again.

I crept to the window, stealthily opened the blinds, and saw the shooter.

The blue lid to a plastic storage tub was in the middle of a southwest-bound lane. Every time a vehicle drove over it, the quickly-crumbling lip let out a thmp thmp!.

That was two hours ago. I really should go out there and put it in a trash bin. Before someone calls the cops.
