Lion's Daily Blurb - July 5-6

[Lion]

I survived the July 4th holiday, the second of the big three here in the USA. Next stop is Labor Day. The highlight of my day was watching the neighbors shooting off fireworks and catching their yard on fire...silly peeps. Fortunately a creek separates my yard from their yard. The fire was contained quickly, and all is well in the land of da Lion. The only thing left to do is pick up those empty bottle rocket casings that landed in my yard. Anyhoot, I topped the night off by watching the Macy's annual fireworks held in New York City. Each year that display gets better. I'd love to see it in person some day.

I watched fireworks in downtown here. The weather was fine most of the day, but when fireworks started it was murky and started to rain. And by rain I mean pour. Few people have left (apperently water coming down from the sky is scarier than I thought). But despite the few scaredy cats, most have stayed till the end. There was actually something breathtaking about it- fire and water coming from the sky. Especially when the last few barrages were fired up.

Out here in So Cal they don't let us have bottle rockets because stuff like that happens with them. We don't have many creeks and the brush is really dry. It sounds like it wasn't a very "Safe & Sane" holiday.

I guess when you make a new map you will probably call it "Scorched Earth" or "Independence Day". Or better yet "Smoke on the ......" ah never mind! :hyper:

What my family and I usually do is go to my high school with some friends and watch the fireworks there, but we didn't do that this year :(. Oh well, yesterday I saw some in Santa Rosa with said friends, which was pretty cool.

Here in the Southern Indiana and the surrounding southern states if it was "Safe & Sane" then you did something wrong.

I feel asleep at 7:15PM on the fourth. :|

Oh, well, the fireworks have gotten boring lately.

Lion,

I did get to see the Macy's fireworks from a bridge overlooking the East River in 1994. They have come a long way since then, but were still cool to see. I remember there being just as many of NY's finest as the crowd they were watching.:D
