of the pilots who fly by my summer home try to "fly friendly." There are
the 10% of idiots who create a damned racket nearly every weekend. And,
the idiots at the airport authority have treated me and others I know who
have complained about noise, with utter contempt. So, this is my little
way of hitting back.


So my question to you is, was the airport already there when you bought your
summer home? If so, how can you whine about airplane noise without feeling
just a little bit stupid?

So, why not knock on their door and politely ask them to use the blower
later in the day? If they refuse, insisting on their "right to blow
leaves," you can call the cops if your community has a noise ordinance.
If not, ask the town manager or mayor or whatever to consider one.

If they refuse to be reasonable, fly a few low passes over their home at 3
am. You know the FAA will never catch you.

Skylune out.

"Skylune" sounds like some spoiled Nouveau-Riche type from Boston
throwing his weight around. He bought a summer home, expecting some
idyllic "country living" and is irritated when the real world intrudes.

Remind of the lady in the Catskills in upstate New York who couldn't
understand why all those airplanes were always flying over her new
summer home. She was a couple of miles from the biggest sky diving
operation for miles and miles. Knowing where she lived, we thought it
possible she had driven past the airport going to and from the house.

Pretty damned pathetic, but predictable. "Other" skeletons? You must mean
besides my admitting to driving faster than the 55 mph limit. We have had
RE holdings in two states for a long time.

As far as it feeling good ****ing off your detractors, I can definitely
relate..
