I went to an airshow this weekend. I sat in my car outside the gate at the end of the runway with a bunch of other people parked there. It was nice because the planes would fly real low over your head. It was pretty loud and they were setting off everyones car alarms.
There was a family with a dog and they were sitting in the grass. It started watching the planes and every time one came overhead the dog would watch it, start barking, then try to jump up and chase it, running through the field while growling and barking. It was funny. One time, a plane was coming in the distance and the dog saw it and started growling and when it came overhead the dog jumped up in the air like it was going for a frisbee.
“Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn't come here. ”
