Anyone seen the C-130 Hercules (I think) lately? I call them baby huey's. For a week they buzzed the house in Bailey between 10:40 and 11 a.m. and then sometimes in the evening.
I thought one of them was going to crash into the mountain but it looks like they really know what they are doing.

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government." Thomas Jefferson
Just saw a baby huey fly over. Missed a pic! Usually two so I ran outside and waited for a second one, but never saw it. Flying a little higher than usual. Thought it might be a slurry bomber but knew they weren't supposed to be flying over the lower north fork fire today.

Well Martin -where are yours that you're sharing with the rest of us! I wanna see a Blackhawk parked on Meyer Ranch!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Ah. Well start carrying a camera, you're disappointing me, both of you.

About the C-130s. There's a letter to the editor in this week's Flume addressing just that. It's titled "Seems like a war zone" and is on page 4. What struck me was this line: "A woman I met on my walk who also saw it said that her neighbor saw a plane dropping paratroopers into the valley last week." I raced right in to the kitchen and made myself a chic tinfoil hat.
