The series of thoughts when military jets go over in the US (midwest.social)

Is it one of those militarism holidays? If not,
Is something horrific happening in the news? (Checks news headlines) If not,
Is it the weekend? Maybe there’s a sports game. Somehow sports games are considered a good use of military jets.
I hope I never start expecting bombs when I hear them.
Maybe whatever horrific event is happening has had time to reach the news now. (Checks the headlines again.)

The only reason I’d know a military jet is it usually is a militarism holiday when you hear fwooosh and some jet is going fast and low. Or there will be more than one.

If there is a different community I should have posted this in that still has a fair number of subscribers, let me know.
