Wintertime Blue Angel sighting ahead

Yes, that’s Blue Angel, singular, though our file photo shows them all. Just a heads-up, especially for the eastern West Seattle residents/workers who have eyes on Boeing Field, that one of the U.S. Navy demonstration team’s jets will be visiting next Monday (January 8). It’s the annual wintertime visit to look ahead to the Seafair Air Show (this year’s dates are August 3-5). The jet’s expected arrival on Monday is 3:45 pm, though a Seafair spokesperson notes that time is approximate.

Thank you for the heads up! I will make sure to not walk my extremely noise-sensitive dog Monday afternoon.

I know, freedom is so unjust and oppressive and harshing on your buzz.

  Nothing says Questioning Authority quite like standing up for the military industrial complex. Ah yes, and true freedom is telling people they need to enjoy something incredibly loud and disruptive.

  the blue angels have literally nothing to do with freedom, but continue spewing your jingoistic nonsense, please.

  Nothing says “freedom” quite like a trillion dollar military budget and the ocassional intervention to keep the world safe for American business.

As a voyeur who loves this blog and can see the names of several people who post frequently I sometimes wonder if the “usual suspects” are actually serious and not trolling us. I would love for them to get out of the safety bubble called America and go see real poverty, oppression, and hopelessness…Why do you think people would risk their lives to escape their homes to come here…? (Hint: It’s not because it’s horrible). By no means am I saying we are perfect, but no civilization in history will ever be perfect as long as humans are in charge. This is just my two cents… I’m sure the “usual suspects” will brush me off, but I challenge them to go see the non-western world. Get out from behind your MacBook in Westwood and go help on a humanitarian mission, you might be surprised what you learn. :) Thanks for the heads up on the Blue Angel visit WSB, you are awesome as always. Aloha Friday and hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yeah because anyone who questions America and the war machine must be someone who sits in a dark room? Please, I work 60 tireless hours a week, and I protest on top of that. Do not lump us all into whatever your warped POV is.

Blessed in WS,totally agree with your post. I also think the usual players just want to rant on most anything. It is what they know!

  Guess who’ll be the first to bitch when they feel their rights are infringed upon?
