   Good labor day morning my friends. 
Hoping each of you are having a blessed weekend. 
Yesterday two friends and I rode motorcycles up to Hollister MO to see the Blue Angles and air show. 
Te went down a couple little roads looking for a place we could see. 
We pulled over and were watching some sky divers and trying to decide if we were at a good spot. 
An older gentleman came walking up from a nice house and yard down the street a little. 
He told us not to park there because he was worried our motorcycles would get hit. He said we could park in his yard. 
He told us across the road was a very good place to view the show.  We thanked him and had a good visit. 
We then walked up the road and found a good clear spot in a big yard. 
We saw some folks on their back porch so we asked if we could watch from there. They said no problem. 
We sat down in the grass and started seeing planes doing stunts. 
Soon a lady came from the house where we were sitting and  brought use each a folding chair to sit in. 
As she handed us chairs, the First Gentleman we saw across the road brought us sandwiches and cold soda pops. 
The weather was absolutely perfect and it was nice to see there’s still some very nice people around the country. 
The air show was phenomenal. 
We got to see an F22 in action and the Blue Angles were spectacular.

	When I was young, we'd always go to the CNE in Toronto, last 2 days of the show, as the CNE AIR SHOW was on ...great lots of planes to watch.... time passes...now can watch live feed on the internet..... this year ,a DISMAL display BUT for you, the USA, showed up with an F-35, probably came 100s of miles away.. Meanwhile , the ONLY airworthy Lancaster sat in it's hanger 42 miles away. sigh, guess I'm one of those 'old and cranky' guys now.....
