Could it have been some jets exceding speed of sound? I.e. sonic booms?

Possible... not too likely, but it could have been something from Fort
Drum.... These didn't quite sound like sonic booms though... I've heard
them before, even here in Rochester... and we didn't see any evidence at
all of any jets in the sky.... before or after....

Another possibility would be military training exercises. The pond is relatively close to Fort Drum.

We used to get that magazine but dropped it when we couldn't afford the subscription. Saw a copy a few years later and it had changed its focus

True, but when I checked with RJ this time up, he was sure that it was
blasting of some sort... he'd heard it a couple more times after I left,
and figured it might have been blasting rock to get it out of the way of
road realignments... there's been a fair bit of that happening this late summer/early fall... the road work, that is... guessing on the blasting
being a part of it...

RJ is practically a local... from having lived up here a substantial
amount before leaving for this latest hiatus, and then being here pretty
much continuously since I picked him up at the Montreal airport mid-June
this year... In one of the earlier times, he was a contractor for Hank
Parker Tents on the base itself, so has some experience there, too...

Probably not unless you happen to be on a road that looks somewhat
different from what you remember it to be. While we were in HI, the
state DOT re-did one section of road on the windward side of the island.
It had had cliffs almost to the road edge, and very dark. DOT cut back
the cliffs to more of a gentle slope, planted vegitation and really
opened up the area--looked so much better!

Similar thing happened to me a good time ago. I was still working at
Fort Meade. State route 32 from Columbia to the fort was a windy two
lane road, even with a one way bridge near Columbia. One day in the
fall as I was driving home on 32, I realized that I had no idea where I
was. What had happened was that in the renovation of Route 32, they had
opened up a new section that day which went around the one way bridge.
This was all part of the eventual changing 32 to be four lanes and
controlled access from the BW Parkway to past Columbia.

Hi Nancy,

OK, that sounds somewhat logical.

Probably not unless you happen to be on a road that looks somewhat different from what you remember it to be.

Perhaps better to say substantially different... ;) But I was
thinking more that if it were blasting for road work, it might be hard
to know if what we heard was for a particular bit of road or not...

True, you would probably have to talk with some of the locals to find
out what was going on. The local newspaper may have had something about
it also.

While we were in HI, the state DOT re-did one section of road
on the windward side of the island. It had had cliffs almost
to the road edge, and very dark. DOT cut back the cliffs to more
of a gentle slope, planted vegitation and really opened up the area--looked so much better!

Probably felt less cramped, too... :)

Yes, it was a lot more open.

earlier times, he was a contractor for Hank Parker Tents on the
base itself, so has some experience there, too...

But no PX or commissary priviledges.

Right, he was a civilian contractor, but spent a lot of time on
base thereby...

Probably got to know it quite well. (G)

From the way he was talking, yes, indeed.... :)

Probably as much as we knew different places where we were stationed. I
can still visualise some of the kitchen layouts.

adjusted now. We did shop on the economy, as well as the
commissary, most places we were stationed at so it's not like we

So they import goodies from the overseas bases' locations to the
domestic commissaries....? One can find Korean kim chee in the Asian markets here.... :) Large quantity jars there, though... smaller
ones in the local supermarkets.... :)

They import goods from overseas companies to the commissaries in the
states. Also, the commissaries in Germany got a lot of European
products; I specifically remember seeing Danish butter but know there
were other goods as well.

We do somewhat the equivalent of shopping on the economy when we don't NB>> bring everything we need food-wise (or other wise, for

Or when we hit up Wegman's in Brockport while visiting family. Not the urgent need to do that now that we have the store in Raleigh.

That's not quite the same... ;) That was more in the nature of
stocking up on things you couldn't get at home... :)

Shopping on the economy, whether in Germany or stateside, was often for
things not available in the commissary. Whole wheat pasta was one thing
I couldn't get at the commissary so would go to the Reformhaus (health
food store) probably about every other month to stock up.

everything from back home.... We did it more back when we'd be up there
