Don't you just hate it when you want to go out and do some work in the porch at night,

but a helicopter keeps flying a circular pattern overhead? This copter is on it's tenth pass flying over my house which seems to be on the circumference of whatever he's looking for. He obviously saw me staring at him on one pass because he slowed down as he flew overhead. I'm guessing it's a police copter and he's using heat detection. What really pissed me off was that my dog and I got distracted and we left the back of the house wide open for about ten minutes!

3. I was on the circumference.

Here in Orlando we have police copters that have infra-red camera. Way back in time when I watched the local news channels they use to replay the chases when someone was fleeing on foot across yards. If they are running a circular pattern I would be on the outer end of possibilities.

14. That's what they WANT you to think

but they really want to get infra-red pictures of you working on your porch.

Beware.

2. they're coming to get your guns.

4. Yes, those are getting annoying.

They had several squad cars in the area, near the Seminole Wekiva Trail.

6. I'm on the other side of the county!

I know my sense of direction sucks, but he was going north over my house, then east and then back up again. He did have green and red helicopter lights which is not common, I don't think.

8. Then something similar just happened here.

There were several sirens before the copter, ambulances and possibly fire.

5. They're coming for your weed!

Move to Colorado.

7. I'm a real boring person.

The only thing they can git me fer, is looking suspicious. (I'm a member of a minority group.)

[bluedigger]

10. Don't forget "actin' suspicious".

You never did say what you and the dog were up to out there on the back porch at night.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. True. That would have made me look even more suspicious since I had a spray can in my

hand.

9. I go inside and lock the doors right away when they do that.

I met a man with a gun on my back porch once. We were both startled, then he ran away and jumped the back fence so that didn't bother me much, but then the police started banging on my front door wanting to run through my house.

I politely said "no" and told them which way the guy had gone.

They caught him, so everything turned out all right.

12. What an exciting story. I like a happy ending.

13. Dude, the dawg probably is the one who narked on you.

Don't trust him as far as you can throw him. ALWAYS make him light up first!

16. I'll keep my eye on him. I think he has the second shoe of my favorite pair of shoes held

captive. I'm still waiting on the ransom note.

15. You must be growing something interesting.

One winter I was renting a small place in Lighthouse Point. [img][/img] Never again!
The helicopter flyovers were accentuated by patrol cars with flashing blue strobes too often for me to feel safe.

17. That was uncharacteristic of me to come out and watch.

But it was early enough in the evening to lull me into a sense of false security.

18. It might've been a training exercise. Or your sexy neighbor has a sun roof in her bedroom.

19. I'll go for Option A.

20. Where I live they buzz bomb the houses...

They always shift flight patterns when we are working in the back yard.

I guess it's just our tax dollars at work as they practice "killing" us.

21. Happened to me when I put up the Xmas lights last week! If I want to decorate my house

in the nude,.....I'll decorate my house in the nude!

22. Watch out for splinters!

23. Shake your fist at them and yell that they are scaring off the flying saucers
