Darn. The local parade started at 11:00 and isn't expected to end until 12:30 or so, so I won't be able to escape the condo complex and go to my mom's until then.

The parade route travels right in front of the only entrance/exit to our place, so unless it's an absolute emergency, no one can leave or get near the place.

Watching the rest of Disturbia. It's actually fairly decent as far as thrills goes.

Will be leaving soon to attend yet another cookout. It rained hard here this morning, but at the moment the sun looks like it will poke through.

Watched the new(ish) Downton Abbey movie. It was decent enough. Due to plotting, I almost expected Lina Lamont to make an appearance.

Off to rehearsal in a bit.

Here we go again! At least six dead, another two dozen wounded at a Illinois Fourth of July Parade.

I guess you can't get any more American than that.

I’m doctoring myself with zicam nose swabs, zicam dissolving tablets and hot black tea with honey

I believe we now call that African-American tea.

Lovely review from Jrand. His reviews always want to make me read the book - then I remember I already have.

I'm finally settling down for the day. The cats got their evening treat, and I had a fantastic dinner from El Mitote, courtesy of Ann and Jen for holding their mail, I got three chicken enchiladas, rice, black beans, and chips & guacamole.

Someone was telling me about a light show that was constructed from programmed drones, to take the place of fireworks in drought-stricken areas.

I imagine it might still make a noise, but a different form of noise from the pop pop pop.

I like the idea.

There has curiously been very little evidence this year of firecrackers. In the past, the racket began around July 2 and built to a frenzy on the fourth.

It's been unusually quiet here, too. Too expensive, given gas prices?

Feel better pronto to Vixmom!

There was a July 4 parade! This photo is from the July 4, 1976 parade, in which I worked on the Campus-Community Players float. Here I am - with hair, my Candide T-shirt, and macrame belt - between my friends, local radio host Geri Hart and float villain Ritch Stoops. I had more photos but I cannot find them! Our DR Ginny made a lovely heroine for the float.

Great photos! I enjoyed seeing them.

Is this the same as you've been buying lately and like so much? (The pizza, not the donut.)

I did laundry this morning, then reviewed my checking account. Now I'm off for the day.

The new season of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES is now streaming on Acorn TV. I have a couple series I want to finish, then will start BROKENWOOD.

I caught a few minutes of Biden's speech today. I was quite impressed by it. I don't usually listen to presidential speeches, but I felt this was a really good one. I realize that he has professional speech writers, but he sounded like he meant it all.

I was at Trader Joe's the other day and bought some of their ice cream sandwiches. It's dairy ice cream, which I usually avoid, but these are so good! There's only one left in the box, which I'll eat, then I must use more discipline, as my allergies are letting me know.

Last night I watched THE COURIER, with Bennie Cumberbatch and Mrs Maisel. It was quite good. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
