you know they are all over the Canadian border now, trying to break up the pot rings
I'd imagine lake michigan is a smuggler hotspot.

It may have something to do with Bush's press conference

I always like watching them fly. Also called shit-hooks,because you can hook shit up to them.
They seem the least likely of any aircraft to actually get off the ground but you can do crazy things with them.

Yeah, Bush spoke at the Museum of Science and Industry this morning, and that's right on Lake Shore...

Welcome to my life. We live like 30 miles from a naval base and they take any opportunity to fly over houses. The Apaches will be flying around at midnight, just rumbling around for no real reason. It's pretty irritating.

Here's a fun fact I read in the paper today, Bush turned 60 years old today. Hopefully he fucking croaks. I don't think we'll get that lucky though.
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

I didnt see any helicopters and I'm right in the city. Probably because Bush is in town + I believe there is a terrorism response exercise coming up in the city.

very interesting regardless, i have pictures of the ones flying over midway. (3 of em)
i saw 6 on the lake shore when i was getting on 90/94 from 55 north, but they were flying low, and despite my chasing towards the lake front in my car , i couldnt find em again.
im going to go see if i cant dig up a news story

lol how old was bush sr. when junior was born? if junior is 60 now, how old is senior?
ah well.
"The Apaches will be flying around at midnight, just rumbling around for no real reason. "
^^ I found that part funny. I pictured mindless ants/zombies sleep walking just like jumping in to their helicopters and aimlessly flying around the city pissing ppl off. Haha
