08/15/2003 Archived Entry: "The sound of freedom"
As I walked from the parking lot back to work after lunch, I was struck dumb--and nearly deaf--by the sight and sound of five F-16s taking off, one after the other, from Ellington Field. They roared low, right at the building where I work, circled once, then formed into a wedge and tore off across Clear Lake. If freedom has a sound, then it's probably something like the deafening roar of those engines.
