Just like in Goodfellas

So remember the ending of the Goodfellas, when the helicopter looms everywhere?

We think we're being followed.

We woke up to it, and it's still looming, this chopper. It's circling our apartment. Loud rumbling. Then faint rumbling. Loud. Faint.

So either some idiot in his personal deathtrap is circling the local airport, trying to land. Or there's a really bad accident on the nearby highway and it's a life-flight type thing. Or maybe awful news happened, and the news chopper is dancing in the sky getting B roll.

Or we're really being followed.

It's creeping us out. It's making our windows rattle. We'll update again when we can.

If we can.

Unless they get us.

Um. Help?

If you ask us if we miss it, then the answer is, quickly and succinctly, hell yeah.

From the AP: An overturned oil tanker in the southbound lanes of Route 287, at Exit 36, is causing rush-hour delays throughout Morris County.

Traffic is backed up for several miles on the southbound side of the highway, where just one lane is open, while rubbernecking is causing northbound delays, as well. No northbound lanes are closed.

The tanker overturned at Exit 36, for Lafeyette Street, around 6 a.m. A resulting fire, which moved into the storm drainage system as oil flowed from the ruptured tanker, has been extinguished.

Cleanup and salvage crews are on the scene. Cleanup is expected to last several hours. Commuters are advised to leave early find alternate routes.

So there it is. No one was coming to get us.

Whew.
