sigh
i was gonna play hookey for 3 days and come back with a tale of woe and butt insertions but working from home + bored = death sentence for not reading the internets
anyway, it wasn't a chopper. There aren't any helipads anywhere near here. the lights were flashing low, then the sky lit up and everything stopped including the "da doo"
which had picked up pace and went so fast as to no longer be separated by pauses
I guess i'll never know what it was. Aliens, Fireworks, a train
sigh
