Hi Boots,
St Joseph's Catholic Church has food daily I believe. The food is in the church hall on Tuesdays between 9-11 am. I don't know if there's any other time, but if you call they can tell you. Perhaps other churches have a pantry too?

I remember working at boulder bay marina bout 1978 and being targeted by a pair of A-10s out on daylight training. Completely unheard until literally directly over us.

It does seem to be quiet down now. I think you’re right about military because they sound so big My Grandson is a Marine and flies in the helicopters and they had a training exercise over Big Bear a couple years ago so that could be it. Thanks everyone and have a good night.
