White sheets

Colorado citizens needing assistance to evacuate are being asked by the National Guard to make themselves more visible to chopper crews by waving white sheets.



To our lurkers from freeperville: this is a proper use of white sheets.

if you wear it on your head, you need mental help
if you wave it above your head, you need a chopper

Waiting for a chopper evac waving a yellow or red sheet and the chopper crew looks and waves back.

Not a white sheet, he must just be saying hi.

BTW, you very well know that I do not surrender easily
