|  Kind of Neato
I had something happen to me yesterday that I've never had happen before, and it was pretty neat so I thought I'd share. The Blue Angels were at an airshow last weekend. My house is near the end of the runway and the wife, the girl and I were out on the back patio watching the planes. The Blue Angels do a stunt called a Fleur-de-Lis, where they all go up in formation, split off in different directions, they each do a loop and they meet back in the middle. As a part of this stunt, one of the planes came directly over the house. He lifts up and punches through this little wad of a cloud and disappears for a second or two. While out of sight, he loops over and starts back down at an arc to make his way back to the center point of the trick (where they all cross) over the runway. On his descent, he punches back through that cloud and ROARS directly over us. About 2 seconds after he passed over, it started raining on us! It lasted for maybe 10 seconds at most. I got hit with 15-20 little dewy drops. Apparently, he entrained water in his wake and it got carried down to us. None of the neighbors got hit with any water or anything, so we were the only ones.  Kinda' neat, thought I'd share. <  landry wonders how a Blue Angel uses the restroom when in flight>
