war machines (Blue Angels)

Yesterday afternoon I didn't have anything else to do, so I headed down to the area around the Golden Gate Bridge...   Leagues of spectators were gathering, and I finally realized what was up -- the Blue Angels were in town and they were starting their Friday practice session for the big show today and tomorrow...   I managed to temporarily suspend my repulsion to anything "war", and enjoyed the graceful turns and forceful charges of the jets...   They are truly incredible machines -- just a shame we live in a world that thinks war is a way to live...
