Well, you've read the notes, the notes had some fireworks, were posted on the fourth of July, and were written by a wiener, and now it is time for you to post until the fourth of July cows come home.

tod

montreal has a fireworks festival for at least the past 20 years.

but the most spectacular one was in monaco 1980. ! believe it was done for a tv variety series hosted by one of john wayne's son whose name escapes me at the moment

Morning all.

I slept late today. I just got up a half hour ago.

Hope all is well with everyone.

No news here on Long Island.

Good morning.

Laura · « **Reply #9 on:** July 04, 2011, 05:58:08 AM »

Well, I suppose I should finish my oatmeal and go outside and start sweeping up what last night's windstorm blew in.

TOD:

Back when I was a kid in Soap Lake, WA (where we had a summer home), they had the most fantastic fireworks displays over the lake. Really amazing.

Druxy · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2011, 06:08:29 AM »

Here, in Austin, I'm hoping that nobody sets off fireworks this evening.

We are in a terrible drought.

I'm up (barely) and have announced the new Kritzerland title.

I could not bike yesterday. My body was too sore.

Hopefully i will get to go swimming this week (actual swimming not just playing with my nieces or exercising). Have not done that in the outdoor pool yet. Hopefully i can get them to put a lane up for me.

Jennifer · « **Reply #14 on:** July 04, 2011, 06:21:58 AM »

I think it's going to be a very hot week here. Although nothing like what DR Laura mentioned.

Good morning, all! I stayed up late watching the second season of THE DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET and I slept in this morning. I feel pretty good, and I plan to enjoy the holiday by doing as little as possible.

I have nothing else to report

At the moment, anyway.

TOD: The fireworks in DC. I actually went to the Mall a few times in my first few years in DC. I don't think I could face the crowds anymore.

I used to live on the 14th floor of an apartment building in Alexandria. It had a pretty good view of the fireworks in DC in the distance.

Independence Day greetings! Our friends Katie & Mike are having a cookout this evening and I've just made a blueberry pie as our contribution to the potluck.

TOD - in 1963, my parents and I were on a camping vacation on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, and we went into Bar Harbor for the 4th of July fireworks. They went off over the harbor and all the yachts and fishing boats blew their horns in appreciation.

And, the year Middfest celebrated Mexico the closing festivities featured a display of Mexican fireworks. They'd had an awful time getting them through customs in Cincinnati, but they were spectacular and very different from what we're used to here in the US.

My favorite fireworks display were some I didn't even watch. Instead, I watched the refugee children as they experienced fireworks. At first, they hid under the table, until we explained they were not bombs. Then the looks of wonder on their faces as they watched the beautiful colors of the fireworks for the first time.

TOD: When I was a kid, my family went to Germany to visit Mom's side of the family. While we were there, we were in Heidelberg on the Fourth. There was a tremendous fireworks display, largely for the American troops and their families, and it was set off against the backdrop of the castle ruins. It was spectacular. Haven't seen the likes of it since.

Sorry to see that Anna Massey died. I loved her in "The Pallisers" and even Kenneth Branagh's "Love's Labours Lost."

Five papers done. One to go. But it's probably the most convoluted of them all, which is probably why I saved it for last.

I saw the 4th of July Fireworks in WASHINGTON D.C. in 1992 - and they were pretty spectacular!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 04, 2011, 07:53:28 AM »

Our town fireworks display is this evening.....and if the rockets go high enough over the trees, I will be able to see them.

I heard a lot of fireworks last night, but didn't see anything.....not sure where they were being set off.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** July 04, 2011, 07:53:53 AM »

DR JMK - how did Gabe's phone call with Geico go? And what sort of car is he expecting from you?

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And it was nice to sleep in until 10:30.
