Hilariously, my mother just loved the sound of those homicidal machines — it’s the sound of freedom! she used to coo. They’d start at dawn, blast away for a couple of hours; then repeat at the end of the work day. Out in lovely Sun City, you could hardly hold a conversation over a cup of coffee, come dawn.
Unfortunately, the planes don’t fly over the city, so we don’t get to watch them zooming around. They really are something to see.
Unclear what’s going on in the Department of Weather-Watching. Skies are clear, but the wind is really blasting through. Wunderground prognosticates a 97% (!!!!!) chance of rain…tho’ there’s not a cloud in the sky.
