Every time. Every. Time.

First, I hear the whirr. My subconscious identifies the whirr as "airplane." The whirr doesn't doppler like it should. My subconscious brings this sound to my conscious attention. I reassure myself, "airplane." The sound lasts too long and really isn't dopplering like it should. I think, "What? Aaaiirplane?? Why are you making those noiises??" Finally (FINALLY!), my brain goes, "Train."

And yes, this happens Every Single Night.

This is what happens when you grow up beside an airport instead of railroad tracks.

Sorry.
