They're truly awesome but I can't help but think of the huge amounts of wasted fuel they must be using in a world where we are supposed to be cutting down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174682655234764319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-75665217953681097272014-06-30T14:03:57.635-04:002014-06-30T14:03:57.635-04:00I loved Anne MacCaffery books, I was so sorry to ...I loved Anne MacCaffery books, I was so sorry to lose her. Her son's Pern books were not nearly as good. I think I have read just about everything from Elizabeth Moon and Mercedes Lackey except for these I mentioned above.<br /><br />We get fireworks outside our windows every time there is a holiday. Lots last night although Canada Day isn't until Tuesday.<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-34645125228314476122014-06-30T14:01:40.559-04:002014-06-30T14:01:40.559-04:00Dunno where they were practicing but we only saw t...Dunno where they were practicing but we only saw the offshoot of the performance.

I don't do crowds much either. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-5389817182554728942014-06-30T12:35:02.277-04:002014-06-30T12:35:02.277-04:00I never liked it when the blue angels would practi...I never liked it when the blue angels would practice right over downtown SF for Fleet Week each October.
