Update on Yesterday's Post

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Fighter jets were scrambled over Los Angeles to intercept a small plane violating a flight restriction Thursday afternoon.

The Cessna was in violation of a temporary flight restriction over the city.

The two fighter jets followed the Cessna until it landed at Long Beach Airport at approximately 12:30 p.m., according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The plane was met by local law enforcement.

The Secret Service confirmed that a plane flew in restricted airspace of Marine One, the helicopter carrying President Barack Obama, at 11:40 a.m. near Los Angeles International Airport.

The pilot was interviewed at Long Beach Airport after landing, and authorities concluded the incursion was not intentional, according to the Secret Service.

The Secret Service confirmed that narcotics were found on the plane. The type of narcotics was not released.

A source told Eyewitness News the narcotics recovered was marijuana.

Yep it was 30 - 40 pounds of marijuana. How stupid is that guy and how the heck was he able to get a pilots license being that stupid.

President flying over my house AGAIN!!!

So Obama is in town again!! Why is it that every time a President comes to town it has to be in the middle of rush hour? Now I don't have to be out there anymore but really common sense tells anyone that hey why don't I make my schedule a little less taxing on the people of LA and fly in at night when the freeways aren't already congested to the MAX....but NO let me fly in right in the middle of evening traffic and make it so much worse for everyone but ME!!!

Anyway for the whole point of this post, I didn't grab my phone or my camera but this flew over my backyard this morning.



It was accompanied by two other helicopters, headed to LAX...which I'm glad I wasn't having to drop off or pick up Michael from at that time. So a couple of minutes after they flew over the house, I could her the Jets starting to take off, not really a huge deal, kinda weird that it was a Thursday and not the weekend but all of sudden it wasn't just one or two that took off it was four back to back that took off.



Well one of these JET fighters decided to accelerate at a pretty low level flying off the short runway straight over the house. Learned a lesson thanks to that jet fighter, never try to hold a cat when a JET is flying low over the house.

Thanks Mr Jet fighter I really do appreciate the sound of freedom flying over my house but give a girl a warning, I'll be wearing these cat scratches for awhile. Poor cats are still traumatized JET planes and the trash truck all in one day!!

Dads view from Hospital

So Dad had to have his right kidney out at the end of January. He was in the hospital for about a week. I took my phone in and he was able to SKYPE or TANGO with Thalea and the boys and some of the Cassity's. I think Carl even SKYPE'd from work a couple of times, but He and Fran were there most nights in person. Anyway I think it was Sunday night...Super Bowl Sunday, Dad had to get a refill on blood and Mom and I were sitting there looking at the window and I took my cell phone and snapped some pictures. Turned out pretty good looking through a window. Somewhere on that hill is the house on Channel Street. I think I like the view looking over there better, then the view of looking over to Long Beach.
