RantWoman is posting two videos with divergent themes in one post for convenience.

Terminology note: WildBerries is described as the Russian version of Amazon. Its CEO is a Russian guy who lives in China

RantWoman should probably find a less snarky way to suggest that there have to be better ways out of fossil fuel dependence than the current war(s)

A great Wind blows the Saturday Blue Angels air show out of the sky.

 What? No Blue Angels on Saturday?

Blue Angels air show canceled Saturday at Seafair due to wind | The Seattle Times

Wind gusts of up to 15 mph?

Neither RantWoman nor Little Sister has EVER heard of the Blue Angels being cancelled because of wind.

Was it REALLY wind?

Not grumpy citizen chatter about noise or surface to air missiles?

Not hacking by the IRGC?

Not a sudden urge to cut back on things like fancy air shows so that the #DoD really truly can afford all the latest war?

Not reticence about whether we even need fighter planes if everyone is busy hitting each other with better and fancier drones?

Shush RantWoman. Settle down and enjoy the peace and quite.

But Wait, videos for people who really LIKE air shows.

This must have been the Friday show.

For anyone who might actually think a ride-along is FUN

KOMO's Molly Shen takes flight with the Blue Angels over Seattle

A few seconds here and there that might evoke motion sickness.

Listening to some of the details of the different maneuvers, RantWoman will NOT comment about the 15mph wind cancellation

But wait! Couldn't we put some of that flying talent to work fighting wildfires? Just wondering.
