Helicopter just hovered over my house |
|
and woke me up at 2:30 a.m.! I swear to gosh...what the heck is Asscroft doing out here in the middle of nowhere? Because that is where I live!
He may be watching me, but I am also documenting this fact.

The Rambos are out this time of year hunting pot patches here in WV! A sniper may be down the street popping people off, but the cops are after Terra-ist potheads! (Barney Fife Syndrome)

here where I live and lots of complaining about 'no new taxes' but what the heck, they have enough for their agents to go flying around in the middle of the night looking for god knows what.
Is the Patriot Act truly at work even in such a rural area as mine? I can't think of why else, but they won't find anything stronger than Earl Grey tea at my house so they are wasting their time and our money!

5. it might be a local police search |
|
here in north central Florida anytime there is a crime committed with a firearm involved, they scout the whole area with helicopters, looking for the perp. Sometimes this can go on for hours, most annoyingly.

6. When we built our house |
|
we put a green sunroof on part of it. The black helicopters went nuts, trying to hover low enough to see inside! It would have been hilarious if they had-all that was in there was old clothes!
Glad to see a post from someone else who lives in the middle of nowhere!

11. "In the far distance, a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, |
|
hovered for an instant like a blue-bottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the Police Patrol, snooping into people's windows. The patrols did not matter, however. Only the Thought Police mattered."
Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell; page 6.
