here's a question:
i wonder if i should be nervous or reassured that i hear fighter jets flying over our house almost constantly during the day, and some at night?
i live only about 10 miles from dobbins air force base. we also seem to be in the flight path of a lot of commercial airliners, headed south to hartsfield international, and points beyond.
while dobbins is a reservist base, there are also two active bases in georgia -- moody afb and robins afb. and, warner robins, is only about 100 miles from here.
honestly, since 11 September, all airplanes make me exceedingly nervous, and i find myself straining to make visual confirmation every time i hear one fly overhead. but, i guess it also doesn't help anything that the fighter jets are loud, and i can hear the difference between the fighter jets and the commercial airliners, even if i can't see them in the sky.
i haven't had the dreams (yet) of planes falling out of the sky, or things exploding... but, those things are on my mind constantly when i am awake, even when i'm just sitting outside on our deck, sipping my coffee.
people keep talking about not being afraid, and to not let the terrorists win. but, y'know, i'm scared. even though i'm still doing what i usually would do, i'm scared as hell. and, this is one time that i'm grateful that i can hide out with savannah, in our house and mostly not worry about what's going on beyond our street or our neighborhood.
i don't know how to not be scared of this. any advice would be greatly appreciated...
