    Tighter pitch was the wrong way to put it. I meant that the angle is steeper and not the tightness of the tarp.

    Me? I love the sound of rain on a fly (tin roof is the best) and running streams etc. It's unnatural or sudden (like Coyotes) etc that get me.

    The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.

    Well put you 2

    I figure If I'm dry . . . what's wrong with a little music . . .

    . . . If you don't want to use ear plugs . . .

    . . . just use one then lay your other ear into your pillow . . .

    There now . . . you aren't wearing ear plugs . . .

    I can't remember who said it (Muir, Thoreau, or somebody like that there), but it sure is a goody......
