in the middle of the night I woke up to what sounded like the snow plows cleaning the street…
but there hadn’t been any snowfall that needed removal…

I lay there listening for a while, but eventually I had to see what the kerfuffle was all about…
I could see lights through the bedroom window so went downstairs to have a better look…
it was a bit disconcerting because I could see a police car sitting down the street in the middle of the road…
there were flashing lights on the next street from another police or fire vehicle…
and a spotlight was shining down from the police helicopter…
as I watched for quite a while, and eventually listened from back in bed, the helicopter flew in circles with the light shining down all around the houses close to me…
the light flashed into the bedroom a number of times…
I felt nervous and didn’t want to sleep for a while so I watched a cooking show until all was quiet and hopefully whoever or whatever they had been looking for was caught or gone…
haven’t heard anything about it today…
