Things guaranteed to make you worry...

For about the last twenty minutes, there's been a helicopter buzzing the house. Oh, not really... but it sure does sound like it. Every few minutes, low overhead, the beat of the rotors reverberating through the walls. After about ten minutes (a few minutes of helicopter noise is not unusual here... we're not far from a major hospital, so we often get LifeFlight helicopters zipping over the house), I finally went out on the back deck to see what in the world was going on. taradaktyl's kids are over visiting our Xbox360, and they followed me out as well (did I mention the helicopter is LOUD).

And there it came, in a tight circle, flying VERY low, with the Sheriff's Department logo on the side.

Um....

We watched it circle again, then went inside and shut and locked all the doors. I have no idea why a Sheriff's helicopter would be circling the park next to us, but it's enough to get me more than a little nervous. Gonna have to watch the news this evening, to see if they mention what's up.

Gee, whiz, that happens so often in our part of Phoenix I hardly notice it anymore, unless they buzz right over the house.

(We have a serial sniper AND a serial rapist on the loose in our area. Whee! The joys of living in a major metropolis...)
