>>>No lack of planes here. O'Hare Airport is straight across Mannheim Road from this office building. The soundproofing must be pretty good because I don't really hear them inside. Look out the window, though, and planes are landing at the rate of about one a minute.-- and that's just on one runway.

>>We had two days of thunder overhead, as these guys just returned from Haiti, where they were fighting... well, whatever they use fighter planes for after an earthquake. And since the "invisible" F117a is retired, the new ones are heavier and can't make such a tight turn, they fly exactly over our heads when taking off. Soundproofing isn't bad, but occasionally we try to be outside. And they seem to know when we're out.

>Oh, that's nothing. We got buzzed by a meteor last night. (Really).
A BIG one at that.
