1. Bloody coppers....
That's what I think.

Or I hope the air ambulance gets there safely.

But if it's hanging around us it's the coppers.

Mark.

2. The last choice has me spitting out my beer.
That was a clever punchline to a poll.

There's no "other" choice, though. I live next to the freeway. It's like living next to the train tracks: not only do you get used to it, pretty soon you can't sleep right without it.

10. Yeah, like that. I think "did I lock the doors?"
Especially when the light is sweeping about.

7. Dover AFB and McGuire AFB practice right over my area....
Chinooks, Black Hawks.....it would be weird NOT to hear them.

But I will fully admit that the M*A*S*H theme song has popped into my head more than once. :P

in Shasta County. :(

We're near the hospital, and choppers go over all the time.

18. One or two helicopters, my first thought is
someone escaped from the local prison. A lot of helicopters over one weekend or a week then I know it's National Guard excercises.

20. depends on the time of year...
Sometimes I think it is the reserves. Sometimes I think they are scouting for pot.
