The city had a flyover today to "support frontline workers"

which, okay, I bet they feel real supported now. I'm just glad they remembered to warn us in advance. Last time this happened, some years ago during Fleet Week, I wasn't warned and ended up hiding in the basement for ten, fifteen minutes. The only time I remember those planes right overhead in NYC before that was 9/11, third period, so....

(I had the bad luck to be walking the dogs as this happened, but luckily Moonpie didn't find it scary.)

Same thing just happened here - I heard it and thought they must be deploying something?
Then 5 minutes later saw a notification news thing on my phone that the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds were going to be flying over to "salute the Phildelphia region".
Whew.
:/

Glad the dogs weren't scared.

Happily, only 50% of our dogs are scared of loud noises. The other dog is mostly deaf, and even if it's loud enough for him to hear it only seems loud enough to startle him, not scare him.
