Re: Happy 4th of July!

Sorry I am a day late with this so it is a belated 4th July greeting to all my American cousins both known and unknown. I did have a few beers to celebrate with you last night so I am playing my guitar quietly today.

PS You can keep the tea as I dislike it anyway lol

PPS. Ken, as I understand it the Scottish MPs can vote on what happens in England but the English ones cannot vote for what happens in Scotland so that must be one up for the Scots.

Re: Happy 4th of July!

Well, thanks to the non-US folk and have fun to the US folks.  Not that the non-US folks can't have fun blowing up stuff too. 

Our town had an enormous firewords show last night.  The wind was blowing southward instead of the usual eastward, so the "fog of war" from the explosions was coming directly towards the viewers.  Sometimes it was so thick that we couldn't see the pattern of the firework, but just a glow of color in the cloud.  Sometimes, we'd see the glow of color and then the glowing embers would burst through in a beautiful pattern.  It was not at all what they display company had planned but beautiful nonetheless.

Re: Happy 4th of July!

My seven year old daughter was scarred, so I stayed in the car with both my seven year old and my three year old and watched from the car.

I treid to convience them to stay at home and watch it on tv, but they wanted to go.

Other than staying couped up in the car I think they enjoyed themselves.

My seven year old has cerebal palsey. Loud noises scares her.
