They have not been legal here since my Dad was a boy ...(and he's 84!) but they are legal in DC so enterprising folk drive down stock up and resell here and the police turn a blind eye

ChasSmith · « **Reply #182 on:** July 06, 2013, 08:22:50 PM »

They're all over the place here, and of course not legal -- people routinely bring them up from the southern states or wherever. But there are so many semi-rural large properties and such that it's truly unenforceable.

They're legal in DC?? I thought you had to get at least into the Carolinas to get the good sh stuff.

I always thought you had to get to at least Virginia but there was a fella interviewed on NPR today sayinghe sells them in DC right by the Maryland border... so its a day trip for the folks in this area

and with fireworks that would be the envy of the Disney crew going off here I am surprised we don't have more house fires every year ... we are NOT a rural are - we are all on 1/4 acre plots -

I do have to admit enjoying the pretty ones - but shooting off "mats" and M-80's and the like - noise for noise sake and smoke everywhere just makes me want to turn a hose on someone

Eight would be great.

I felt like doing a second jog so I did a second jog, which is a good thing to do when you feel like doing it.

There is a drive-in on the way from Olympia to Shelton. I haven't gone in years, but my friend Margo loves to take her kids. There was something on Facebook last year (maybe earlier this year) about a Kickstarter program to keep the drive-in going. I guess not enough people go there, but it just may be that it needs to be fixed up.

Evening, All!

Sorry to go missing for a couple days, but I had songs to learn for tomorrow night's Kritzerland show.

And BK isn't kidding. Kerry O'Malley's "As Long As He Needs Me" will lay you out flat! Stunning!!

Okay, no foolin' around here. Gotta get these lyrics more solid.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

Oh, forgot to say -- can't believe Tony Tanner is part of this, too!

Serious early VIBES and BREAK-A-LEGs for a great show tomorrow night!

Well, I need to get something to eat. I also need to leave my house, so I'll be back later.

Jeanne, the Kritzer songs were recorded at the time I completed each of the books. We did five songs for the first, five for the second, and then five PLUS the Kritzer originals for the final book. I'm going to upload all of them to the notes. The CDs were available at the time we sold the books online here - if you ordered one from this here site you got the CD. I'm happy to burn a copy if someone wants one. We were originally going to press up 100 of them, but it never happened.

I would love them - when I joined the books were all ready out so I bought them all at the same time and I do not have the cds although the books are all beautifully inscribed

Ditto. When I joined they were all out. It would be fun to have the songs.

Whew!! Well, after getting all the wallpaper off the walls, I was going to finish scrubbing the last two walls so everything would be ready to paint. But, I didn't feel like scrubbing, so I painted the two walls that were prepped. I have no idea if I'll be too sore to finish tomorrow, but at least it looks like progress has been made.

I'm watching CNN's report of the plane crash. It's so strange--there have been plane crashes several times the same day I've flown. The one in Lockerbie, Scotland, for one.

Please let us know what days you are planning to fly.

RE: the fireworks discussion from yesterday

These people that set off their own fireworks, is it just for a few minutes?

I have no idea if doing your own fireworks is legal here. But I don't think it would ever occur to anybody to want to do this. Many suburbs have beautiful 20 minute fireworks displays on occasions like July 1st. And it doesn't really seem that safe to try to do this yourself.

If fireworks are not available for sale in Canada, then I wouldn't imagine people would have a choice.

As I was painting I wasn't sure I liked the color. But when I got two walls done and looked at it, I think I'm really going to like it. It's really neutral but has a little color to it. I'll try to take a picture of it in the morning

I am now somewhat ambulatory. I can walk without a cane, but not far. I get really tuckered out! The danger has passed. There were some complications, but they are behind me. I am able to go to the doctor and also buy groceries by myself--no driver/minder needed! THAT is a big milestone! I have been pretty much housebound for the past 7 weeks--arrrrghh! Thankfully, my neighbor downstairs and a couple friends have pitched in and helped.

Great news, Jeanne. Continued healing vibes to you.

I finally had a few hours today to clean up my mess at home.
The things I drop on any surface available when I walk in the door.
A few hours at a fast pace is what it took to put things away.

One day I will finish cleaning out the cabinets and drawers of the clutter that gets put away. $:-\$

So, does that mean you can come help me with my mess?

John G. · « **Reply #206 on:** July 06, 2013, 10:43:35 PM »

Went dancing tonight, and it was just what I needed, even though it was awfully hot. Still, it was nice to slip away under the ball of lights and just move along.

I always wondered how long "forever" might be. Well I just got kicked out of HHW, so now I know.

I'm watching "Oz:The Great and Powerful." The opening is in black and white, like the Judy Garland movie. It's also in academy ratio with black bars on the sides.

John G. · « **Reply #209 on:** July 06, 2013, 10:46:24 PM »

Then I came home and started watching an old recording of Ann Southern in "Lady in the Dark" that just arrived in the mail. It would have been nice to have this a couple of weeks ago when I was writing a paper on it. But it's a fairly good record of the music from the show and the truncated libretto still shows all the flaws of the show.

Never realized Ann Southern was such a good singer.
