So tomorrow and Sunday there will be a big air show in our neighborhood.
Remember the airport tower?

Well, this is about 4 blocks from our house (not counting the big open field.) Yesterday the Blue Angel jets... six of them, were practicing their routine. At one point one of the jets flew RIGHT over our house. I saw the shadow of it pass across our patio. I wasn't quick enough out the door to actually see IT. But no matter, they flew all around our houses for a couple of hours. Sunny and I were parked out in the front yard at one point and watched all six of the planes in formation fly sideways practically down our street. It was, to quote a word I found on Shane Nickerson's blog.... HAWESOME! It was be-yond awesome, and went right to... Hawesome.
So this morning I took Sunny for a walk out in the same area as the above picture. I noticed they have "No Parking" signs ALL over along the roads around our development. They say they expect 100,000 people. I think that's silly. Sounds like the local paper's daydream to me. But we shall see.
While Sunny and I were out by the air field this morning I was checking out the Blue Angels parked on the side of the runway and as we watched, some all important pieces of equipment arrived.
The porta-potties.
They came in on a huge semi rig. At first I thought it was the biggest Pepsi delivery truck ever! I wonder what they call those in England or Australia. Porta-loos?
Anyhow, if I can manage it, I'll try to get a picture of the planes if they do any low, fly by maneuvers again in the next few days.
It sure gives me a good feeling to know these guys are on our side. And I bet hearing them coming, loaded for bear when you are a scum bag terrorist hiding in some dug out, might cause you to lose bladder control. Because let me tell you, when they want to sneak up on you, they can do it. Depending on the angle of approach and the speed they are traveling, sometimes you don't even hear them till it's too late.
They can be here and gone before you can blink your eye.... or pee your pants for that matter, now that I think about it!
Hoo Ahh!
