Local Traditions I Could Do Without

Hey, Seattle! Happy Noisy Assholes in Fast Planes Day! Yes, the Blue Angels are doing aerial maneuvers passes right over my office as they warm up for their next Seafair debut. I might mind the noise less if proximity gave me a good view, but the cloud deck is low today, so visibility is crappy, and the part when they pass right overhead is only to turn around to get back over Lake Washington, where the real action happens. So at most we get a view of one jet in a banking turn speeding away from us again. Whoopee. Why is it the Fremont Solstice Parade bicyclists never come by here to practice, instead? They, at least, are relatively quiet.
