I find that even noise cancelling headphones don't help drown out nearby conversations - I listen to Apple's Chill radio and use Noizio when I really need to focus.
A booze bus is a random breath test - the police have labelled busses that they park on the road. I believe if you blow over the limit then you get on the bus and are tested again in 30 minutes.

Django has haystack[0], which I've used with an elasticsearch backend on a few projects and is generally pretty easy to set up and get good results with. I haven't had to do anything more advanced than autocomplete/boost/spelling suggestions, but from what I've read it seems pretty powerful.
I've gone down the same route, from PostgreSQL search to ElasticSearch with usually pretty good results. A friend has strongly recommended Algolia, so I'll explore that for the next project that needs it.
I use and have used Heroku for personal projects for quite a while. I don't feel too bad, because
a) they only run free dyno apps upon request (idle most of the time) and
b) I'm a huge advocate for their products, which has led to my work and several other companies using and recommending Heroku. At work we now have a number of clients typically running 2-5 dynos and other services, hopefully easily covering my freeloading!
