Its a bird, its a plane, no its- WTF?!?!

The day started out rather normal, as so many of them do, where the TV auto tunes to channel 7, WHIO for the morning news. The storm last night was quiet, or it was here. A facebook friend mentioned the non-storm as well, but the way the crew on the news talked, it was like Zeus and Thor were having a pissing contest on the roof of the station. (As cool as that would be to see, I'd rather not ever be in a position to see that.)

I got a package to Goin Postal to be shipped to NY, and headed about my day. They couldn't find the flash drive at the preschool with Mark's pics, but they think they know where it is. He seems to be taking it in stride though.

We went to Applebees for dinner, some kind of teacher appreciation night, so Ruthie got to eat for free. She said it was the first time in years that she actually liked the food there.

But a funny thing happened on the way there. We left from Piqua to meet Ruthie there, and I saw something in the sky. Two somethings, actually. Reflecting the sun, but in the shape of birds. One rotated a little, and it turned into a giant metal diamond shape, I blinked, and both were gone. They were too far apart to be the same object, and gone instantly. It almost looked like a kite, but was too big and too bright in reflecting the sun for that. If they had been a plane, it wouldn't have disappeared that fast.

Now, I have seen things in my day. This ranks up there with the weirdest things ever. What makes it funny is that I rationalized it to be a pair of giant metal sky birds rather than some type of aircraft. I think I have seen just a few too odd of things in my days when I am fine rationalizing giant birds in the sky that reflect light like metal.

In a moment of irony, Aerials came on the radio during the ride home. Aerials...


Sometime I really wonder just what the gods are doing.
