Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Dear Newbie Seattlites,

It's Sea Fair weekend.

The Blue Angels are here. It's traditional. We like them. Yes, they are LOUD.

They are loud enough to make your car alarm go off. Hear it? Yes, and you run outside to stop the alarm. Then the Blue Angels go over again. And your car alarm goes off again. And you run outside again.

Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseum.

They'll be at it all day. Just like they were yesterday when they were practicing, and the day before when they were learning landmarks.

Please, for the love of Mt. Rainier, turn OFF the car security system for the day.

Thanks,
Seattle Native.

LOL. They show up at the Cleveland air show too, which is over Labor Day weekend. Classes are already in session by then. My alma mater's campus is directly below the flight paths. It's actually pretty funny if you're on campus the Friday before, because you can watch the freshmen freak out. DBF says he saw one girl dive into the bushes and then try to pretend nothing had happened...
