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? G. Raffe |

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. |

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.. |
