Planes fly over me all the damned time (including this morning) while I drive down the road, because it’s in the flight path of the local regional airport. Glad I didn’t leave work early today.

UPDATE: It turns out that I know the owner of the Tesla Model X that GOT HIT by the plane. I told my wife that I thought that I recognized the car, and she just called to confirm it belongs to a guy that we know/lives around the corner from us. He’s okay.

Place is called SugarLand... shouldn’t be difficult for DEA agents to find something to investigate, right?

Funny story: there’s a park between this road and the airport runway that has some areas that are hard to get to (wetlands).  Some guys had a very large marijuana farm in there until it was discovered by a pilot flying over.

I worked near a small airport for about ten years. The street I drive on is right in front of the runway. There’s a flight school there and I’ve rolled up on two crashes right on the street. Last one, about a month ago, was right in front of an FBI building. Here’s one from a few years ago.

I spent the first week in the working world in Sugar Land.

I nearly got killed by a song I like called Sugarland.

(Ok, a bit of a stretch, but not entirely untruthful.)

I love the song, and I was at the Indiana State Fair a few years ago. I saw there would be a band that evening also called Sugarland, completely unrelated to the song, but it piqued my interest.

Finally decided I didn’t feel like hanging out at the fair long enough to see a band I had no particular interest in other than the coincidental name.

Then this happened.

Yeah, it was rough on everyone.

To add to the misery, a n impromptu memorial was created outside the grandstand, with photos and other personal notes.

The memorial was right next to the state lottery’s booth, with all the tackiness that implies.

I’m still baffled as to why the lottery didn’t close down their booth out of respect for the victims. Such an odd and unpleasant juxtaposition.

I live here.  It ain’t too bad.  Lots of cultural diversity.
