I think I have talked about this
earlier in the blog but it is amazing how quiet the world has become without
all the manufactured sounds of humanity. With no trucks on the highway, no
train horns blaring, and no air conditioners/heat pumps whirring, the place is
pretty quiet. Things like cars have become even more audible when they roll
past us. So, imagine how loud it is when we hear something like an airplane.
Early this morning we were are
clamoring up to the roof because we heard airplanes. True enough, we spotted military
planes flying overhead. Granted, they were at high altitude and we were
observing them through gun scopes and the weak binoculars that we have available
but Kasondra confirmed it. They were military planes. And that alone gives you
hope.
It means that somewhere out there, the
world has not fallen apart so much that the United States military is still
functioning and running operations. The bird was flying way too high for us to
even hope to signal them but it lets us know that we are not alone.
It has left us all wondering what we should
do next. I think we are going to stick with the game plan of riding it out for
the Year One Plan. Yes, we agreed to go more aggressive to keep our supplies
up. But I don’t think now if the time to just toss the plan aside because we
saw one plane.
The group is meeting to see what we
should do.
