No more "Left Downwind"?
Why? That is where all the pilots (and hence all the fun is)...
Speaking of clogging up the frequency... I was 15 out from Nappanee
(C02) Indiana trying to announce my arrival when I hear someone on the
frequency describing to someone else, what they did the previous
weekend, in minute detail... I swear the frequency was taking up by this
guy for 5 minutes straight... When he finished his diatribe I barely had
the time to announce my plans...
That was the first time I have ever heard this kind of frequency robbing
inconsiderateness... I swear it was like listening to some ham radio
operator with a bad case of verbal diarrhea...

The real problem isn't "with you" or "left" or "looking", but rather
the windbags that take two minutes to say anything because they
haven't a clue.
"Jeff--is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"How ya doing?"
"Okay, I guess."
(Heard on a holiday weekend.)
The above is why I avoid small uncontrolled airports on the weekends.
