I would think that "autonomous zones" and the fact that society is crumbling in The Great Northwest might be foremost on residents minds, but go ahead and cancel The Blues, it'll just free up a date so someone else can enjoy them. You just can't make this stuff up can you?!
I used to look forward to assignments in Washington State, Oregon, California, now I dread them. Of course I am a persona non-grata in those areas because I hail from The Lone Star, good times in these un-united states.
I remember few years ago some people in San Francisco wanted to cancel the fleet week because of the jet noise. This is the same city whose city council rejected the proposal of docking the Missouri Battleship as a permanent museum because it's symbol of the "evil U.S. military" (in their mind of course).
In the Women's Soccer World Cup that's playing in New Zealand and Australia, half of the U.S. team placed their hands over their heart when the national anthem was being played, the other half didn't kneel but their contempt was clearly visible. I am rooting for the Swedish team to beat this bunch on Sunday! Such disrespect to our national anthem on international stage is a disgrace.
I totally agree Douglas.
It was not only their athleticism that brought the US Team this far BUT the Country. IF they can't respect that then move. Call me and I will help you!!!!!

Dan, today the younger generation here are taught that their country is BAD BAD BAD. Some of the teams in this World Cup are from countries that arguably have a lot less to offer to their people than the USA, the Jamaica team even had to get funding from Gofundme to travel to the game. Yet players from those countries still proudly sing their national anthem and show their respect. I will be the first one to admit that the USA is not a perfect country, far from it. If some of these girls are so ashamed of the US, while they are making millions, perhaps they shouldn't be wearing the USA uniform to represent such an evil country. Not respecting the national anthem at home is bad enough, showing their contempt on international stage just brings it to another level. I was a big big fan of the US women soccer team for a long time. The Swedish blondes ain't bad looking either...I enjoy watching women who look like women.
No airshow for me until the Atlantic City show on August 15. In the meantime, I have been enjoying shooting this newly-fledged hummer in my yard. Hard to imagine he will be flying thousands of miles to the south in a month or two. How these little creatures can fly 20 hours non stop over the Gulf of Mexico is beyond my comprehension.

You are 100% correct Douglas.
Americans, as yourself, that have emigrated(my mother's parents fled facist Italy in the 1920's to live here)to live in the US of A are just as upset as we born Americans are.
Ignorance is bliss for MANY Americans (thank you "lame stream" media)on how the other parts of the World live to survive. The country you escaped from is a prime example. You don't like China..you are dead!
Like I stated..."You dont like it here"? Move and I will help you!
Now..photography...Fantastic hummers my friend. The scales are just so sharp! Detail and bokeh fantastic!
Stay safe!
