About 5 p.m. an orange helicopter went over my place coming from the NorthEast and headed toward the SouthWest.  Could see no writing on it, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some.

I stood in my driveway and watched it and suspect the guys in the helicopter were saying, "Guess these people don't get out much."

It was a Skycrane helicopter.  They are used for lifting heavy items quickly, like to the top of a mountain.  It was up in Quebec doing some work, you saw it on its way back to clear customs.   I don't think he saw you.....if he did he didn't say anything about it.

Thanks - Maybe I should have waved and made a real idiot of myself.
