Hi David, sorry long time, no visit so I am here to put that right. Very odd about the planes the other night, they used to do that In England when the airforce were training and it scared me every time.
Here when I first saw the police helicopters flying over I was convinced they were going to land on my roof. In fact it was only because they were so low I knew it was police. Now I am used to them and also the mosquito spraying planes. That and all the small private planes, that also seem to fly real low.
The first time the space shuttle landed, I thought a truck had ploughed into my house. I was sitting here on Bettermost actually and the whole house shook, every door and window, the noise was incredible. I ran to the front yard convinced I would see half my house demolished. That is well over a hundred miles away as well, so I cannot imagine what it must sound like closer too where it lands. I also cannot imagine what the thing is doing to the atmosphere, my poor dogs went berserk, and hid under every available sofa. I still don't like it and must have heard it 3 or 4 times now.
Hope you have a peaceful Sunday, and very glad the aliens did not get you.
