hooked me a big un

     i have the ability to have the biggest most exorbitant fish one might see. it is all within my imagination. not within my imagination isfact that you are never alone. noises bombard me daily as i work here on the farm. the neighbor has a pest gun that shoots off in his orchard on a regular basis when you are outside enjoying the warm breezes. highway traffic noise is channeled up our valley and rattles our eardrums. a plane passes overhead and i look up as i did yesterday and saw nothing. 
   and i am dead serious . i live in ohio south of canton , ohio . close to an army national guard airbase and i believe they were flying a drone over the farm. domestic surveillance of u.s. soils. i would like to think it wasn't so. but i have fairly good vision and hearing for an old fart . and i am familiar with the various aircraft that flies over regularly. it seems as if our airspace is used quite frequently. yesterday at about 11:30 am. i heard an approaching aircraft  loud and seemed to be struggling against the fair weather. the sound actually annoys me and i wish as much as i like aviation that all fliers move some where else so they wouldnt have to fly over head. but the  chance of that happening is slim to none and slim is out of town. though i cant wait for electric motor planes. Hmmmm. imagine by the time you add the batteries you are in a heap at end of runway.
     anyhow i look up to make sure he isn't coming down on me as if i had a place to run or could run far. and i see nothing, i scour the sky , turning around in a a full 360 degree circle as the noise intensifies , and then it passes over and still no sight of the aircraft making noise. wow could imagine the laughter back in the hangar at akron canton airport national guard facility.
     things like" wow does he look like an idiot imitating a ballerina pirouetting  in the barnyard. what a clod ."
who knows what or if it was but the thought reminds me of george orwells 1984.' big brother is watching you'  you would think that here we are i are in the  middle of a 40 ac. farm in the middle of even a larger area of rural nothing-ness..  built on, but still basically underpopulated in comparison to other urban areas. most of the land unsuitable for farming due to roughness of the terrain. some alluvial fields. 
      we have no paramilitary police force although i have wondered about a few neighbors stockpiles of weapons, or any other illegal activity that would warrant the need to authorize the use of drones over our property or in fact inside the united states without the use of a warrant. i have come to the conclusion we have to much security in the wrong place. it doesn't start at home , but instead at our borders.there is to much money creating jobs in security that yield us nothing but more intrusion into our daily lives. 
      at this point and refusing to engage myself or my blog in controversy only wish to state, that we need to ask our selves when enough us enough. and assuming the american spirit will prevail. when we get there we will tell those people who think they can invade someones private life at will , just how far they can go. 
    cant prove anything and my eyes are still as good as my hearing. but i had an eerie feeling creep over me when i heard that plane.
