47 - Saw a big helicopter.
[email protected]
Weather's been clear and cold and dry lately, and
so the field has dried out some. Pete and I were
out there throwing the football the other day. You
know, catch is great for covid times. You're
standing far apart, but it's back and forth, it's
reciprocal, it's mutual. It's good.
And then off in the distance above the mountains
beyond the north shore of the inlet, we hear and
see this helicopter. One of those big two-prop
army kinds, like a Chinook, and it's lifting out
something large on a chain from the center of its
fuselage. We can't tell what. And it makes me
think back to that unexplained train I saw the
other week, with the soldiers and big machines on
it. And its weird, but I never put it together
until just this day, that back when I first
started seeing those trains, was when I first
noticed seeing the Olds appearing here and
there. And I don't know if that means anything,
but it's funny how the relative timing of stuff
doesn't always click with me.
Anyways, we were stopped and listening to the
thud-thud-thud of that far-off helicopter, and
then we see a huge blue dragon flying down fast
from above a cloud. And its going for that
helicopter, coming down fast. When it's closer, it
spits out like a fire bolt or something, and the
helicopter takes it right on the top. And its
listing and trailing smoke and before we know it,
it's down on the mountainside in a fireball. You
don't see that every day around here. We go on
home after that, because that's sure quite a thing
to take in on a Wednesday.
