The Navy
The Navy has descended upon New Orleans occupying all ports with historic Tall Ships that are on display all week while the Navy personnel file out to our community to do service. I saw a bunch in City Park painting the pagodas. All cute, sweet and young. Hard to think of them having to actually go to war and makes you wonder about all the service people who die in war who are mostly anonymous to most of us who they are protecting.
I remember living in San Francisco and having no barometer for the change in the seasons other than the Blue Angels flying in fall. What a welcome sight and sound they created when they flew dangerously near the skyscrapers there. One of my all time favorite pastimes was to be on the roof and watching them. They are here this weekend in New Orleans flying over Lake Ponchartrain – welcome Blue Angels!!
