Every morning it sounds like Apocalypse Now

I wake up really early in the morning. Usually between 4 and 5 a.m. Not because I have to but because I love the early morning hours. I love the quiet and I don't like rushing to get out to work. So I take it nice and slow.

I live in an area that even during the day is very quiet and at night is an oasis of quiet. I really like taking a pre-dawn shower by candle light. Then having a cup of tea and taking my time preparing for the day. I usually post for my blog during this time and listen to what ever music suits my morning mood.

However lately at around 6 a.m. I have been assaulted by traffic helicopters that sound like a scene from the film Apocalypse Now. I live a few mile from a major freeway and these traffic helicopters fly around the area giving live traffic reports for local t.v. and radio stations.

The worst part is that they just hover. The just sit up in the air making noise. And I hate it. Some of the helicopters are so loud. The sound reverberates so much I can almost feel it.

I wonder why there is not a pool helicopter that takes live shots of traffic and broadcasts for radio? Why does there have to be 10 choppers in the air all at once?

This is so aggravating. I don't even know where to begin as far as making a complaint. And I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference.

So every morning I suffer through a helicopter onslaught worthy of a major motion picture. This makes me want to move away to some nice quiet rural locale where the only sound I would hear is crickets.

That sounds so nice.
