I am awakened this morning about 6:45 by the distinct sound of a helicopter hovering nearby. Got up and go outside to see it's WRAL's helicopter.

I come back in and turn on the tv to see if there is some news event going on. No news event, just that helicopter disturbing my sleep for a 5 second live traffic shot of the US 1 N - US 401 N split.

Old people are so grouchy in the mornings.

Try living in Wood and hearing that mofo run up and take off at 6 am every morning.

I'd be cranky all the time too if I lived near the 1/401 split. Capital Blvd sucks.

if they are low enough, get an air horn and some ear plugs and blast them. although they may not even hear you, the mics might pick it up on the news
