Helecopter crazyness?

[turil.livejournal.com]

Anyone know what's up with the crazy helecopters buzzing Somerville right now and for the past twenty minutes?

Should I stay inside my house or something?

Edit: I had decided it was Bush flying by, but then it turned out that that was last night (he's presumably comfy and hanging out in Maine by now). The helecoptors seem to be looking for something/someone... They stopped for a bit, but then came back again.

Not hearing them at all in Davis.

Huh, they seemed to be flying the whole length of Somerville, as far as I could tell.

Also, I think it's because GWB is flying into Portsmouth, NH at this very moment, and we just got a taste of the enterage that surrounds air force one.

(He's at Dad's vacation home in Kennebunk for the 4th of July, according to 'my "sources")

I wish I knew. We're getting divebombed in east Somerville. Heh, I wonder if they're looking out for illegal fireworks? (Someone just started up across the street from me, which put the idea in my head....)

Seems to have been Mr. Bush passing through the neighborhood skies. At least, according to the air traffic control folks.

Heard em in Winter Hill too

I called 311 to see if I could get any info. I got voice mail instead. Is one supposed to leave a message after hours with 311, and if so, does someone really call you back?

what time was that? i heard something late past midnight, i think. woke up thinking it was still part of the scary dream i was having and couldn't muster the strength to look out the window. (admitedly i was kinda freaked out and well, dammit, scared since i wasn't sure if i was awake or not.)

p.s., this was last night (sunday, july 1st). i'm guessing that it was probably some film crews doing night shooting, but that's the optimist in me.
