WTF was that?
Anybody else have military jets flying low and loud lately? I just did. We didn't even have jets on 9/11. What's up? Anybody know?

1. Likely a military funeral.
Often they have a flyover of jets in the "Missing Man" formation for high ranking aviation officer's funerals.

2. Not in Florence
As I said elsewhere, we never do. And we've got more old people per capita than anywhere else in the state I bet. They're telling me it's in honor of WWII vets. Now? Just after the ballots came out? Bull.

4. Ben Burch was right
It was a General's funeral. I freaked for nothing, although we've never had one here since I've been here. Thought I better clarify since this post will be up for a while. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

3. I heard that yesterday in Portland. Every once in awhile they fly low
but I wouldn't read too much into it.

5. We had some low flying military jets over Medford
this morning. That's not a common occurrence here. Since Dumbya was here last week, there is not likely any connection.
