I was thinking about that when I took my wife to work early this morning & viewed the morning sky getting light behind our own (semi)dormant volcano Mt Baker.

London too is so quiet overhead... I am on a flight path for landing planes, high up, and thankfully high in the sky, but 1 a minute fly over at certain times of the late afternoon... It's very quiet at present! Love it!

Ted, how long has it been since you changed your "pen" name? I have only just noticed!

Well, now I've noticed too. Funny how we look at the avatar and know exactly who it is.

My wife and I teach rock climbing and rappeling for the Boy Scouts, and we always look foreward to going out to remote climbs in the peace and quiet.
However, I am an aircraft mechanic in Atlanta for Delta Airlines. The 3 days after 9/11 were the creepest in my 23 years in aviation. Hartsfied Intl. airport is the busiest in the world and for those 3 nights at work, not only was it silent but we had to watch every single aircraft in the fleet sitting on the ramp doing nothing, not knowing how long they would be sitting there, or how it would effect our jobs! I'm sure there are similar feelings in europe now.

Yep. Still have a friend there and hear about it from time to time; though I lived there long, long ago.
