The Blue Angels bring traffic to a halt in the Seattle / Eastside area as I was driving Thursday morning from Kent to Bellevue for an appointment. I showed up 30 minutes late, all because everyone wanted to look at /for the Blue Angels flying above. Don't take me wrong I'm a huge fan of the Blue Angels, I first saw them in San Diego when I was nine years old, but seriously lets be courteous to others on the road.

I mean as I drove north bound on I-405, people kept slamming their breaks and pulling their heads out of the window trying to see where the Angels were. If I knew that the Angels were flying overhead at a certain time and that the I-90 Bridge was closed, I would have managed my day differently. I guess this is why I'm blogging about it now.

Here is a picture of a freeway sign showing the time line when the roads will be closed.
