Fittingly, I had my own first encounter with a drone today....
While relaxing on the lakefront at my FL retreat, I heard what I first thought was a neighbour's hedge strimmer. I then realised a drone was flying up and down the lakeshore at about 150'.
It buzzed off, but I have to say, I really resented the invasion of privacy.... what if the G/F had been on deck with me???
5 mins later, it re-appeared.
I tell you, if I had had a shotgun with me, I'd have TAKEN THE F***ER out!!!
