This could be an interesting evening in Rehoboth.

The beach crowd for fire-works is well in excess of 100,000. Many people park out side of town and take a special shuttle into the beach. The fire-works are planned to start in 45 minutes.

It has now comenced to rain! If everybody decided to call it quits, it would take at least 2-3 hours to clear out the town - there are only two exit roads!

Oooh - rolling thunder to introduce the festivities!

I gamble on the fact that our house sits well down a slope - I leave the TV and the computer on even with lightening strikes nearby.

Hmm....

I've seen Bruce Springsteen, and you, Sir, ain't no Bruce Springsteen.

Would you believe Vilanch?

OK... Whoever wrote the introductions for tonight's "A Capitol Fourth" needs... Well... Needs something.

I've ended up watching a delightful British comedy SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE with two of my favorite actors, Eileen Atkins and Benjamin Whitrow, as an elderly couple and a lot of entertaining younger ones, including Mark Strong of the BBC EMMA and MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY and Ewan MacGregor.

I've been down in the family room watching some of the NCIS marathon with Richard and eating our "picnic" dinner - hot dogs, baked beans, chips.

Now, I'm back in my haven watching the Macy's 4th of July gala.

DR GINNY - or DR ELMORE.....what dairies would have made home deliveries in your neck of Ohio back in the late 1940's.....what name should I put on the milk box on the ALL MY SONS set?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #247 on:** July 04, 2008, 06:30:58 PM »

Fireworks are just starting around here.....

And this year, I don't have to worry about Miss Blue Moon being afraid of the loud noises..... I kind of wish I did, though.

Any chance of a cold beer with that?

Before my time, DR JRand, but I'll ask Richard. When I was growing up in Detroit in the '50s, our dairy delivery was Borden's.

Ha Ha Ha Richard should know! Thanks.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #252 on:** July 04, 2008, 06:38:31 PM »

Ours was Maplehurst from the time I can remember which was probably '53 or so, but I think they were only in the Indianapolis and surrounding area.

SLC was Winder Dairy, which was also a big field trip in probably third or fourth grade.

Did you see any cows?

Was it the cow logo or just the red name on the milk boxes?

Only if you're referring to nice Mormon women in those little paper hairnets.

-And, now, I'm flipping between "A Capitol Fourth" and the US Olympic Swimming Trials.

Hmm... It does indeed look like Taylor Hicks had had a bit a of grooming and tweezing for his Broadway debut.

I don't suppose that includes some lipo and a serious butt tuck, does it? He could USE those.

We just had a "Happy 4th" phone call from DS Rob, who was watching fireworks from the shore of Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan.

Well, we're off to Adair's, who will have a front row seat of the Ft. Vancouver fireworks from her Columbia River townhome. Of course, I am prepared to be regaled with stories (and pictures) of her new best friend, Burt.

Bacharach?

The trees are obscuring my VIEW of the Mooresville Fireworks!

Back from a delightfully delightful partay and I have photographs to proove it - which I'll try to post a little later. I ate one bite of excellent jambalaya, and then stopped. I'm sauteeing some chicken, mushrooms and onions now - that's what I had a hankerin' for.

Well... I've re-packed my bags, cleaned out the fridge, completed the online check-in process, and set my alarms. And now I'm going to try to get a few hours of sleep before those alarms go off. So...

Goodnight.

Ginny · « **Reply #269 on:** July 04, 2008, 07:44:55 PM »

Sleep well, DR Jose, and have a smooth trip tomorrow. You'll be enroute before I wake up, probably.
