OK, there is one thing I am not too fond of where I live. The helicopters fly above day and night. No, I don’t live close to a hospital with the heliopad for emergency personnel. At this time of night, it’s not the traffic copter that checks hwy 99 behind the park, either. No, this is the copter that flies around, sometimes saying garbled messages through megaphones, sometimes sending a beam of bright white light earthward. Then suddenly, it will start to fade. Only tonight, it’s not doing that. Tonight, it is going round and round and round. What unseemly senario is taking place, and how do I find out? What does happen in this neighborhood after dark?

Helicopters here are almost always either life flight (from the university) or news, particularly on campus. I know if the sound lingers, there’s some sort of breaking news happening in town. I don’t hear them often at night. Mostly we hear sirens but even then, not that often. It’s kind of nice living in a small town sometimes.
