Around here in VA BEACH you live near a lot of bases...included but not limited to, naval air force bases and air force bases. We live about 2 miles from Oceana naval air station. THAT MEANS that about every 2-3 mins you WILL hear a plane flying overhead..AND not just any plane, folks. I'm talking..the scary pointy military kinda planes..the kind you don't wanna see comin' at you when you're at war with America. I've seen em go sideways, straigt up and down, cork screws..it's like we have our own private airshow..DAILY! Now, for some people it may seem that the jet noises are hard to get used to HOWEVER.. Lee used to live right next to the train tracks in downtown Roanoke and that painful screeching happend about every 10 or 15 mins or so it seemed. Eventually we got so used to that noise that we never even recognized it. Believe it or not..even though every now and then (and they usually choose one night a week..this week it was tonite) they are so loud that we have to pause the TV and wait till its gone or stop our conversation till it passes..its really not that bad! I seriously thought the trains were worse!! I don't mind the planes at all...sometimes it bothers Lee but not usually..here's the kicker! We were driving out of our apartment complex the other day and there was this dirty ol' beat up HUGE truck in front of us..and down at the very bottom was one lonely bumper sticker that said: I Heart Jet Noise! LOVE IT! If you live around here...you better learn to love it!
