I feel the need... the need for speed!

Whenever I hear about the Blue Angels coming to town, I get pissed. Why oh why are they spending my tax dollars on such a wasteful unneccesary (and BLOODY LOUD) activity? What's the point?

And then, I see them in action. And I'm totally wowed. They were weaving in and out of high-rises in the city today. It never makes me feel patriotic, but it always makes me stare and eventually grin.

Probably because I always think of Top Gun. Yunno, pre-Tomkat scientology, twenty years ago, back when he was just completely hot and totally obnoxious.
