The three men in the apartment : Joe, JT and Casey the Cat, settling back to watch movies..
JT: Which one?
Me: American Pie
JT: Aight
(15 minutes later, and not a damned thing is funny..)
JT: Planet of the Apes or Charlies Angels?
Me: Charlies Angels. I want to crack a smile at least ONCE tonight.
JT: Supposed to be done over the top with Tongue in cheek. Errr... pun not intended.
Heh. Took me about 5 seconds to visualize and get that one...
-------------------
I stood outside and looked up at the Central Florida night sky.
A man in business casual clothes sailed by on his longboard thru the complex.
I looked up and watched the lights, all the planes circling the Orlando area.
Here, it doesnt feel like everyone is on heightened alert. It doesnt feel like The Blitz like it does in New York.
F'rinstance.. like New York.. all the planes are lit up like Christmas ornaments.. but at least private planes are flying all over.
Small and private planes are excluded from New York airspace..
All you see are commercial planes flying predetermined paths, slowly. Almost no helicopters or private planes, cept for military and civilian authority.
Oh yeah, and the F-16's on patrol.. seen usually when they light their afterburners, making that abrupt turn over Manhattan.
I stood and looked at the lights in the sky.
Normal lights.
