Scooping the Press

I'm sitting on my couch writing the last post about our 4th of July week and our plans to run errands today - thinking about our goal to be out the door in 15 minutes. There is music playing, a few car horns honking and a helicopter in the background. Not so weird - as we live in the city and every once in a while the President or PM give a visiting foreign dignitary a tour. Well they must be touring right around here because as I hit publish I hear the helicopter still, it is pretty loud.

I'm starting to feel a little uneasy by all this helicopter action outside. Today there are protest at our neighbor's house - watch the news. Now - I don't know the full story so I'll let the AP report it, but I would like to scoop the press on this picture:

Back to my story. I'm starting to feel a little uneasy about the noise so I look to my right, out the window, over the balcony and.....  I think my neighbor came by to visit. Funny because I don't know him. I think he was at the party on Thursday - but we aren't friends.

His driver landed his vehicle right in my front yard! (Which is a public park). They shook hands, took a picture and took off. This is the take off - wow! I'm really close in case you can't tell. This doesn't happen in Mansfield. If the New York Times would like this picture that is fine - it will make up for me using your picture earlier this morning :)

You know those pictures where I'm taking a picture of you and you are taking one of me? Well that is the next picture in this series - but I can't show you that because I'm afraid if I do that guy will show everyone the picture of me in my pjs. Off to those chores!
