Now that I'm semi-hemi-demi-associated with Jo Fish, I have to start being more respectful about the Navy. Ours, that is.

Fleet Week 2005 - San Francisco will take place on the San Francisco Waterfront, October 6th - 10th. Events will include aerial demonstrations by the Navy's Blue Angels, Team Oracle, the Air Force's F-16 Demonstration Team, tours of U.S. Navy warships by the crew and more. Get tickets and showtimes at http://www.fleetweek.us/fleetweek.

This is an annual fesitval, and to the best of my knowledge "travels" through the various US cities that qualify as berthing ports - or do they call them home ports? I always get so confused about the Navy. To me, port is something you pass around the table to the left.

Anyway, congratulations to a fine organization which has always met its challenges, and always made our country look good. And the Blue Angels are outstanding. I've seen them at Ft Lauderdale Air-Sea show and it's well worth the price of admission.

And San Francisco? Well, helloooooo, sailor.
