I am sitting here doing computer time in the back bedroom. The computer sits between two corner windows looking out on pool area and back yard. I can hear the drone of a police helicopter off in the distance.
Suddenly I realize that the chopper is extremely close with their flood lights on. The light sweeps across my neighbor's yard, into my yard, and lights up my windows before it moves on.
It has now made 3 passes through this part of the neighborhood.
WTF is going on out there? Looks like I am going to round up my two pits and take a little stroll.

Nada. All quiet in the back 40. The dogs were very disinterested and the chopper has moved on.

I know what you mean, George. There is a giant children's hospital a few blocks from me. When I hear the choppers coming, I always picture a tiny heart or liver being delivered in a Coleman cooler full of ice.
