Jets over L.A.

For the past six hours, since about 3:00 PM, jet planes have been flying fairly low over Los Angeles County, about one flight every quarter or half-hour. The only explanation I can think of is that Bush is in town and these are presumably jet fighter planes. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks.

Actually you're probably thinking of Elton John. Call him and ask for Benny...

Meanwhile I'm off to verify Charleze Thero-whatsherface's tan and educate her on the joys of conservatism.

Speaking of that, did I mention I nearly died today??

Or it could be Operation I Wanna Kiss You Suzy

[GeronL]

There are airports everywhere out there =o)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Tell me about it, did you try to kiss Suzy?

USAF gets the Sam's Club discount.

Very funny. There's no football here.

W made $4mil at one fundraiser today. Maybe they're riding shotgun on the haul.

I would hate to see what the reaction from these idiots would be on here if this was something serious.

You bet, it could very well have been an attack by some of those F-86 camel humping interceptors from the al-Qaeda Air Force.

Going back up on the roof with my binoculars. I'll report back later.

No.. huh??

I was alone. I was eating breakfast, watching TV and I had a cough. I coughed while I had a mouthful of barely chewed hamburger meat (I was out of sausage) and something blocked my windpipe. There was nothing coming in or out, not even the tiniest wheezing.

I whacked myself on the back and kept trying to force some air out (or into) my lungs. At one point I was able to breathe in a bit but nothing would come out.

Finally, I somehow coughed it out and was able to breathe again. I still choked a bit until I was able to cough it all up.

I was tired and my body was tingling all over. I was really weak!! My cat was freaked out.

This all probably took a minute. Felt like forever.

I am likely alive by sheer luck or maybe God has a plan for me to die somewhere else... lol..

My husband and I also heard the loud noise of a jet flying low tonight -we had one of those WTF moments. The last time something like this happened he ran out quickly and saw three Sabre jets from a vintage plane airshow-cool No mistaking the sound of a sabre. We live in Long Beach.

It doesn't keep a score though :0)

I noticed the same thing!

And the purpley bubbles were my favoritest ;-)

Gezzz, that's disgusting. Hamburger meat for breakfast?

I prefer chicken and pancakes for breakfast.

[Tamzee]

Ouch... as an EMT, I diagnose that you had a very lucky escape!

If you were tingling and weak, you were probably very close to passing out and nobody could have helped you :-(

I liked those cool aluminum foil hats they made in the movie, "Signs," with Mel Gibson. ...wonder if they really work?
