I, on the other hand, HATE IT

This weekend is the Chicago Air & Water Show, an event that many in the Midwest look forward to. But I dread it.

The Blue Angels began practicing today. I work on the 37th floor of an 80+ story skyscraper, the second tallest in Chicago and 16th tallest in the world. When those Navy jets buzz by in formation or fly upside down on their way to the Lakefront, I just want to shudder and cry. All I can think of is 9/11.

The fear won't ever completely go away, will it?

  1. Oh my goodness, that WOULD be terrifying! I liked it when they flew near our house, but we were safely on the ground.

    (On the other hand, when they flew low over our house during practice - before we even knew about the air show - it scared the living daylights out of BB and me.)
