el rinconcito

I have the afternoon off and I'm already getting weird. I had a delicious lunch of tacos: two chicken and two barbacoa. Yes, I'm in a cheap hotel, but I have a suite, lol.

I was thirsty. Hit the spot!

This summer may be the summer of wine on the patio....or beer...or tequila. There will be tiki torches, wifi, games, and nudity after midnight (UTC).

I like to stir up some conspiracy action, when possible, so here goes.

When something out of the ordinary is noticed, why not blab about it on the Internet? I've followed with some interest the endeavor of plane spotting. I've been amazed at what all people have learned by comparing notes of aircraft spotted at airports and in the air. At least some of the practice of extraordinary rendition was brought to light by plane spotters.

Anyway, driving home today, I noticed some HUGE freighter jets coming and going from the local airport. I've never seen them there before, and I drive by there a lot. They are very large, seemingly as big as the sky, and the wings go over the fuselage, rather than under it like on a passenger jetliner. There are no markings on the outside, and the color is a flat gunmetal grey. If there were numbers on the outside, I could not see them, but then again, I was driving so I couldn't pay extremely close attention.

So, what's up? Strangely, an acquaintance of mine was telling me about similar activity at his local airport in another state just last week. Also, other people here in town have told me that this afternoon is not the only time they have been around. Hmmm!

The location of my sighting:

The Piedmont Triad International Airport, also known as GSO, PTI, and PTIA. Greensboro, North Carolina (NC), USA.

Time:

Between 5:30 and 5:40 PM, EST (22:30 to 22:40 UTC). 11 Feb. 2009.
