I have been to places near an airport where on a clear night you can see airplanes from miles away. And if they are heading toward you, they seem to be almost hovering. (think parallax.) From my backyard, on a clear night, I can sometimes see six or more planes at a time either coming or going to Newark or Teterboro. Much of North Jersey is on the flight path of planes going to Newark or Teterboro. I think this is what most people are seeing. Also, helicopters can hover, but they make a lot of noise. Planes also use the coast as a flight path.
The Federal Govt said that most drone sightings are manned aircraft. (You or me flying on a commercial airline into Newark.) So, why are the Feds disregarded in their explanation? I think it is both a sign of times as good conspiracy theories are fun and exciting, and there is also a political component as our Chief Conspiracy Contingent gets active and wants to shoot them down. I hope I am not on the plane that they start shooting at.

I’ve been trying to warn people about giant coyotes for years and nobody is taking it seriously. The photo evidence will be helpful.

I'm guessing we'll shut down for a bit starting at around 11:30 - 12 tonight.
Cross your fingers!

Very soon after Barn Bird opened, my wife and I went there for dinner. I had seen some specific items on the ambitious online menu that I wanted to try, but they were out of them, so we vowed to come back another time.
Today we walked in for lunch. The menu has been pared down to a few essentials — probably for the better, because what we ordered was delicious. My wife got the sandwich with regular (non-spicy) Yaji seasoning, hold the slaw. I got the jumbo tenders, each one nearly as big as a breast. They were crispy on the outside with medium-hot Yaji seasoning, and moist inside. I’m a mayo-phobe and wasn’t sure I’d like the creamy Barn Bird sauce, but it was the perfect dipping complement to the spice.
The side of Yaji fries was large enough for two to share.
The hibiscus iced tea was too sweet for my wife. (Sweeter than the hibiscus iced tea at Able Baker or Artie’s.) My “Franny’s sweet tea” was more balanced, tasting of some lemon. I’m used to Southern sweet tea, which can taste like sugar water, and this, refreshingly, wasn’t way up there on the sucrose scale.
It wasn’t a cheap lunch — about $40 for both of us, with tax — but we felt we got good value. (No need for a full dinner tonight.) The high school boys at the table next to us raved about the food, and the place was busy as Santa and carriage rides drew a crowd to that end of the village. Here’s hoping that Barn Bird continues to do well.
