5. Just survived Chicago's Air and Water Show
I hate it. City residents already endure a lot of noise, so why we have to listen to two days (plus additional days of practice runs) of screaming jets at low altitudes is beyond me. This is all occuring in part over one of the most densely populated areas of a city of three million people. I recently took a cab driven by an Afghani refugee who told me that the sound of the jets reminded him of when the Soviets used to attack. He said he couldn't sleep for days after the show because of all of the terrifying memories it aroused.
