"Lost" is Found

Wyatt and Griffin are certain that the island behind our house is the same one that the crash survivors live on in "Lost". They were a bit suspicious of it for quite a while. Their fears were confirmed when we spotted some wild boar on a kayak ride through an overgrown water path on the side of the island. Little grunts and something moving about in the trees and brush alerted us to their presence. We glimpsed the beasts through the dense growth. They were partially visible and moving about like the boar on "Lost". As we quickly paddled away the boy's beliefs solidified.

But it gets better. You cannot have the "Lost" island without some sort of clandestine government activity. For the last few months we have had that as well. A green helicopter suddenly appears from over the bay and lands in a small clearing on the island. It never stays long enough to shut down. It lands just out of sight, idles down for about sixty seconds, then revs back up for takeoff. I finally snapped a few pics this morning. Unfortunately I think I was spotted! If you zoom in on one of the photos you will clearly see the pilot looking directly at me as I click away. EEK! If I go missing DO NOT call the police or any government agency. I suggest the A Team.

So there you have it. "Lost" has been found. I will let you know if we spot any black mist.

Recently this same helicopter reminded me of Ray Liotta's paranoid scene in "Good Fellas". It landed on the island in the morning. Nothing new about that. But later that morning it flew low overhead as I parked at the Publix supermarket. But once again it gets better. That afternoon I was thirty miles from home and guess what. Yep. It flew over my head as I travelled down the interstate!

Spooky.
