I am disappointed that you decided to take a cheap shot at the California International Air Show. (Hot Picks, Sept. 24). You did a poor job of hiding your disdain for the event with one token comment about the funding of local charities. I don't believe I've ever read negative "testosterone" comments about triathlons, Scottish games, or outrigger canoe races. Nor have I ever seen any safety concerns mentioned about surfing competitions, mountain bike races, or overbooked outdoor music festivals, I also haven't heard much griping about fuel consumption from bar-hopping CSUMB students. I also doubt you ever considered that air shows focus on the precision flying and attention to detail more than "militaristic...violent overtones." In the future just leave Hot Picks for "what, when, where and how much?" We can decide the rest for ourselves.

Call it the inter-connectedness of The Universe, the cosmic duality of competing forces centrifugally wooshing your brain into the vortex until--the frantic spinning slows, stills itself and ceases. There is meaning, vision restored. Ahhhhh.
