Am I blue? As I walked down Columbus  through North Beach, a Blue Angel jet flashed by about 50 feet overhead, scattering pedestrians and pigeons alike.  Part of practice for the weekend show. Years ago in a Chanel commercial,  Catherine Deneuve’s beautiful self would murmur, “Come close. Come closer….” “No, no” we would shriek, “noooooooo that’s too close. ”  Yes indeed, Angels too close. Loud and thrilling, but do we have budget for that, really?  Over the weekend, I was fleet-less in bucolic Oakland. Yay, Oakland…
