And a lot more if you are driving through those parts of the Southwest where there's lots of area surrounded by military areas, bombing ranges, and so on.

 

You are not kidding.  My father actually had that happen.  Shortly after the sign, a fully outfitted Apache helicopter came over the horizon...

First-world problems?

 

I wonder whether Andersen was mocking the upper class or engaging in self-parody.  His specialty after all, was writing girls who endured horrible torture (frequently leading up to their death) and then there's this impossibly delicate princess who can't sleep due to a degree of discomfort so slight as being impossible for a human to detect.  Then again he could have just objected on "suffering is virtuous" grounds to the original version of the story where the "princess" actually is an imposter, but a kind one who manages to find allies who give her the answers to the queen's tests.
